Hi,I am new to Tomcat and JEE, but a new job means to learn new things. So right to my problem, wich I am sure is not too unusual, but I couldn't really find a solution (via google) so far. my directory structure looks as follows /opt/document-repository<- mounted nfs-disk of an archiving system /opt/Tomcat/webapps/myApp.war<- my project deployment file my webapp for now is just a bunch of servlets which, using java.io.File..., have no trouble to read the archiving systems directory structure listing to list all available archived pdf-files. With servlets and some CSS I managed to build a little directory tree in the browser output and linked the pdf-files to get opened (via adobe reader plugin) in an iframe this basically works if the pdf-files I want to open are located in the deployment directory. but what I want to do is to access the pdf-files of the archiving disk. it seems tho while the servlet java code {java.io...} CAN, tomcat CANNOT access the pdf-files, which are stored there. And my projects deployment directory and the archiving systems mount have to be separated, so I can not mount the nfs into the deployment directory nor can I put my application around the nfs-mount-directory I stumbled over a hint about adding a <Context docBase="/opt/documents" path="/documents"/> directive to the web.xml file, but I haven't had any luck with my experiments so far, but then I realized that this would mean that I also have to move my project directory which I can't. So if there is any possibility to get this done (i am using linux incase you haven't guessed already) I would be very glad if anyone could drop a few lines to help me out.
What actually happens when you try to access the files? Does the Tomcat process have sufficient rights to access that directory? p
