Allow web access to /WEB-INF?

["Dong, Roland" <Ro...@parade.com>]

Is there a way to have web access to /WEB-INF? I want to have this
capability to access a directory under /WEB-INF by URL. Is there a way
to configure that?

I understand the secruity concern on this, but it is an internal
application and we want to use WebDav to access that directory.

Thanks

Richard

Do you have an Apache up front as a reverse proxy?

If so, you could make a separate mapping there...

Options I've seen suggested to this:

1) Write a servlet that passes through the content of resources.
2) Internal redirect via a servlet or filter.

Either should work.  All that's really forbidden is direct client access
to the contents of WEB-INF.

I think the Servlet Specs do not allow this, so I doubt any Servlet
container will allow this via HTTP.  You can do it via File/Stream I/O
however.

why don't you just workaround it and move the files you need accessed 
outside the WEB-INF directory,
