OK, all very nice ... I just tried this. The server was running and my application was up and working. I copied an image into the ROOT directory then tried to access it like so http://localhost/main.jpg and got a 404 not found. I stopped and restarted the server (very important this) and tried the same request again and the image loaded. I'm not imagining this. It is a fact. On my setup (tomcat 6.0.16. jdk1.6.0_03, Windows XP SP 2) I cannot load images that have been written to disk after the server starts ... sorry if this offends you in some way, it's driving ME nuts especially as you all seem to have no trouble with this. I'm almost tempted to load the app onto the live server and see if it works there. .. no, that way lies madness. lyallex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
