problem in loading a text document into a browser via tomcat 1

[AnthonyGeorge]

I am trying to build a web application that will load a text page into a browser.

The application loads the web page into the the following directory:

C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\know_your_customer_docs\customer1\customer1.doc.

I have added the following to my server.xml file:

<Context path="/customers"
docBase="/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/webapps/know_your_customer_docs="0" reloadable="true"
</Context>


I am trying to load the document with the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/customers/customer1/customer1.doc

I then get the following error:

The requested resource (/customers/customer1/customer1.doc) is not available.

Thanks for any help.

Anthony

OK, a bit of a re-arrange is needed ...

Forget the <Context> entry in server.xml.

Create these directories :
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\customers
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\customers\docs
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\customers\WEB-INF

Delete this directory :
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\know_your_customer_docs

Put your customer.doc in :
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\webapps\customers\docs

and then access it via this url :

http://localhost:8080/customers/docs/customer1.doc
