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
But maybe you could just create a link, inside your deployment
directory, to the mount ?
/opt/Tomcat/webapps/myApp/docs --> /opt/document-repository
You would have to make sure that the user-id under which Tomcat runs has
read access to that directory and to the documents in it.
Otherwise, can you be more precise when you say that "tomcat CANNOT
access the files" ? what URL is the client using, and what exactly happens ?
