Can't view files (doc, jpg, etc) with a newly created Web app

[tuanster]

Hi,

I'm using WLS 8.1 with SP2 on Windows environment.

I have created a new Web application using weblogic.servlet.FileServlet class. Here're my web.xml and weblogic.xml setting

============================
web.xml
============================

<?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>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>pbhFileServer</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.FileServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>docHome</param-name>
<param-value>D:\appl\myFiles</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>pbhFileServer</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

============================
weblogic.xml
============================
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 8.1//EN" "

http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic810-web-jar.dtd">

<weblogic-web-app>
<jsp-descriptor>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>verbose</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>
<context-root>/or</context-root>
</weblogic-web-app>


I archived them into a WAR file and successfully deployed it in WLS Runtime console.

I can request a JSP from the newly created Web Application context, ie:

http://<myhost>:<myport>/or/index.jsp

But, I can't view any static files such as .doc, jpg, gif, etc in D:\appl\myFiles directory which is mapped to the servlet docHome value. Here's the requested URL

http://<myhost>:<myport>/or/test.doc

The file test.doc is in the D:\appl\myFiles directory.

The error that I got is 404.

Do you know what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Tuan
