How to config Jboss to allow it access the server local file

[leeson1125]

Our web application (war) allows customer to download files from server. These files are created by other supporting application running on the same machine outside jboss.

Supporting application will create the files and store all information of the files inside database. Web application should read the database according to the customer's requirement and display the link on web page to allow customer to download the file. I can't put the absolute path of files because of the security.

I was lost because application is in WAR format, I am not sure about the relation between deployed path information and configuration path information.

Can config web application to access the folder on server used by supporting application to store the created file?

Can anyone give me a hint or light?
Really thanks

let's say your war package name is: example.war under which u have one jsp, test.jsp and web-inf folder.

Then you must access the test.jsp like this

http://localhost:8080/example/test.jsp

where i assume that the server runs on your local machine on port 8080

Thanks pritam.
I think I did not make me clear.

I have war file in {JBoss Home}/server/default/deploy. System will generate some report files daily and store them on the same machine as JBoss running but in folder D:\Reports\Types\.

Can I allow customer to download the report files from jsp in war file?

I could get it by using servlet and IO stream. Is there any way to set the report folder shared to web application?

You can add an explicit content description to server.xml in the tomcat.sar directory.

I'm not sure on the details, especially under JBoss, but that's what I used to use a long time out.
