Link to a file using h:outputLink tag.

[Francisco Neto]

Hi all,

I'd like to know if the hutputLink of the JSF can only render to another page. I want to create a link to a file in my directory system and I'd like to create a link for it in a datatable.

Could anyone point me?

Thanks in advance!

<hutputLink value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.contextPath}/local_Dir/#{file.name}">
<hutputText value="#{file.name}"/>
</hutputLink>

#{facesContext.externalContext.request.contextPath} will get you to the root directory of your running application.
