Christopher, actually, I'm new to configuring tomcat and writing .jsp's. All that I managed to do up to the moment is - to set up authentication rules and to get a jsp that gives me a list of files that I need (in the /$catalina_base/my_instance/logs directory). So, I can't give you a sample of my code because it doesn't exist yet =)
Thanks for mentioning PsiProbe, I'll try to use it.

Can you give us a sample of how you are trying to serve the file? Are you performing a <forward> and trying to let the DefaultServlet serve the log, or are you reading the file yourself and streaming it back to the client? I believe only the latter will be possible without significant alternative configuration. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8sC9cACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCKbwCeLt3cUDYf0DjYsF76F9cLVD3s migAnRHjThUJTyJ0Z2WiiFodz2Zq7GSx =jWbS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org ----------------------------------- This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
