Files added explicitly in the manner you suggest end up under WEB-INF/classes. To include arbitrary content in a web application, simply put the files into the web directory you require (e.g. ProjectDir/mywebapp/instructions). To get the WAR builder to recognize PDF files: 1. Tools | Preferences | Browser | Files Types 2. Locate "Web Binary Content" and add "pdf" to the list. -- Kevin Dean [TeamB] Dolphin Data Development Ltd. http://www.datadevelopment.com/ NEW WHITEPAPERS Team Development with JBuilder and Borland Enterprise Server Securing Borland Enterprise Server http://www.datadevelopment.com/papers/index.html Please see Borland's newsgroup guidelines at http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html Back to top phimalaya Guest Posted: Wed May 10, 2006 1:15 pm    Post subject: Re: adding pdfs to WAR file thanks jim. i came across the following in jbuilder doc. ============================================================ Adding unrecognized file types as generic resource files If you have file types that aren't recognized by JBuilder, you can associate them with the generic resource file type. Then JBuilder will recognize them and include them in the automatic source discovery process. You'll also be able to bundle them into archives. For example, JBuilder doesn't recognize Flash files, but you might want to access them in your project and deploy them to an archive with the rest of your project. ============================================================ then my qn is --- what is the diff between your suggn and associating with the generic resource file type?

None, except to categorize them a little better. "Web Binary Content" is just a name, but it better describes the PDF. -- Kevin Dean [TeamB] Dolphin Data Development Ltd. http://www.datadevelopment.com/ NEW WHITEPAPERS Team Development with JBuilder and Borland Enterprise Server Securing Borland Enterprise Server http://www.datadevelopment.com/papers/index.html Please see Borland's newsgroup guidelines at http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html Back to top        BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> JBuilder Deployment All times are GMT Page 1 of 1 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group .
