browse web-inf folder

[Former Member]

i have a web app which i am trying to deploy within netweaver.

When the app starts up I get an error message which says WEB-INF folder is not browsable. I realize it may not be standard to be reading from this folder, but would rather just get the application working as-is to start, and then deal with that issue later as we fully migrate it over.

Is there any way i can change the security to allow browsing of that folder?

thanks.

Hi,

There is no chance to browse this directory.

Servlet specification says:

"

•It is not part of the public document tree of the application. No file contained in the WEB-INF directory may be served directly to a client by the container.

•The contents of the WEB-INF directory are visible to servlet code using the getResource() and getResourceAsStream() methods call on the ServletContext.

"

From WAS 6.40 SP11 is allowed include / forward in WEB-INF directory.

Is there a way I can see what file it is looking for. I have adjusted all the configuration files to not point at web-inf, but cannot get it to work still.

I get a 404 Not Found

Directory web-inf is not accessible for browsing.

Details: No details available

How should I debug this?

thanks

i get this in my responses.0.trc file.

[Feb 8, 2005 3:32:26 PM ] - 10.0.128.128 : GET /xxxxx/do/start HTTP/1.1 404 1505

I don't get any more info, so i don't understand what to do next.

thanks.
