Distributing files within J2EE servlet .war archives

[Theo_Smit]

Hi,

i have a question about J2EE. I try to add some files to a war archive, but i can't access them from within my browser.

I use Tomcat 5.5.15, and have mapped the URL /HelloServlet to my servlet, but i can't access for instance /HelloServlet/test.txt.
It seems everything after the /HelloServlet is ignored. The file i want to access is in the root of the .war archive, but putting it in /WEB-INF doesn't help either.

I use Netbeans IDE 5.0 as editor for my source files.

I hope someone can provide some help to point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

Theo

That depends on how this HelloServlet has a mapping URL defined.
