Tomcat and byte serving files (bug ?)

[Carl Brodeur <ca...@modelio.com>]

Hi:

I am sending you this because I spend DAYS searching for a solution for 
this and the documentation (for this) is about inexistant.  I dont 
expect to have an answer anytime soon on the use list.


I am trying to serve PDF files on a intranet with byteserving 
(this allows speed up the viewing large pdf files by requesting one 
page at at time)

It works when the file is served up directly by Apache but when I place 
it under a Tomcat
context root it does not work (Acrobat starts when the file is 
completely downloaded).

Did any of you came across that problem ?

I use Apache 1.3.27 and Tomcat 1.4.18


Cheers,

Carl

I have not seen this problem, doesn't mean it isn't there.

You can work around this problem by configuring Apache to serve static
files such as PDF's if you are using mod_jk 1.2 by configuring a mod_jk
JkAutoAlias or mod_jk 2 by configuring an Apache Alias in your httpd.conf.

See the mod_jk docs.

Regards,

Glenn
