Hi William,
Thanks for the advice, but I still cant get it to work.
What I have so far is a directory and test file:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\know_your_customer_docs\customer1\customer1Doc.doc.
The link
http://localhost:8080/customers/know_your_customer_docs/ customer1/customer1Doc.doc
should load the
doc into the browser:
I though you could set the path in the server.xml so I added the following code to the server.xml
<Context path="/customers"
docBase="../server/webapps/know_your_customer_docs" debug="0" reloadable="false"
</Context>
I copied this code from an example and I think it sets the path URL path to the absolute path doc path.
I also did what you suggested and added a WEB-INF folder under my know_your_customer_docs with a minimum web.xml doc.
I am not sure what should go in the web.xml doc apart from
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
</web-app>
Thanks for any help Tony.
