Way Off Topic - Site Maintenance

[Michele Emmi <mi...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
I manage several intranet sites that I have to perform regular maintenance 
on (make changes, war, and then install to server).  My customers would like 
to be able to add their own files to the site.  My thought is to keep them 
out of the web server (they may not have much technicle abiltiy) and have 
them to put there documents on a file server but, I don’t want to have to go 
into the site to add the links.

Does anyone know of / or have a solution where I can generate an html or jsp 
which lists and links the files available from a Window’s directory?  Or, 
maybe have better solution to the problem?  I am looking for a java solution 
to run from server side when the page is requested, not from the file 
directory using a Perl / Kron solution.

Thanks for your help!
Michele

My solution to this is to store the files wherever you want, and then store 
that location in a database table with a unique key when the file is 
uploaded to the system.

Then, generating your display page of the available files is simply a 
database call.  Users don't even need access to the filesystem if they need 
to download the files later, the files can be in a protected area (like 
under WEB-INF) which means that you just write a simple servlet that reads 
the file from its location and spools it out to the browser as needed.
