Hi...

I have a strange problem with my servlets that run on Win2000 with Apache and 2 Tomcat instances.
I cannot open files through servlets whereas exactly the same code lines work in local standalone java programm.
It seems to be somehting like a rights problem...but I dont know what to do.

thanks for any help

here are my configuration files for Apache and Tomcat:
