How do I download files?

Hi,
I want to create a web application that will allow user's to download
files from my server.
I have this JSP and Java Bean ...

bash-2.03$ cat index.jsp 
<html>
        <head><title>Plankton beans</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<jsp:useBean id="FileLister" class="FileLister.fileLister" scope="page">
      <jsp:setProperty name="FileLister" property="rootDir" value="USER002" />
</jsp:useBean>
<table border=2 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=3>
        <tr>  
                <td><b>Files</b></td>
        </tr>      
        <tr>   
                <td>${FileLister.HTML}</td>
        </tr> 
</table>
</body> 
</html>   
bash-2.03$ cat src/FileLister/fileLister.java
package FileLister;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class fileLister {
        private File rootDir = null;
        private String HTML;
    
        public fileLister () {}
        public void setRootDir(String rootDir) {
                this.rootDir = new File( rootDir );
        }
        public String getHTML() {
                String[] entries = rootDir.list();
                this.HTML = "<TABLE>\n";
                for (int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
                        this.HTML += "<tr><td><a href='USER002/" + entries[i] + "'>" + entries[i] + "</a></td></tr>\n";
                }
                this.HTML += "</TABLE>\n";
                return this.HTML;
        }
}

Here's a example of the HTML source this produces ...

When I access my JSP and click on one of the .txt links I get a 404 error?
The files do exist and permission on them are wide open. I have been making
symbolic links to the USER002 directory all over the place.
SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/MyDownLoader
bash-2.03$ ls -l
total 6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 plank chumb 25 Mar 15 14:03 USER002 -> ../../../config/USER002
drwxr-xr-x 3 plank chumb 512 Mar 15 14:01 WEB-INF
-rw-r--r-- 1 plank chumb 409 Mar 15 14:01 index.jsp
bash-2.03$ cat USER002/.htaccess
AddType application/octet-stream .inq

Is there something wrong with my <a href=> tags? Is there a problem using symbolic links? Is there something other than just having a .htaccess file in my USER002 directory?
Please help!

You've made the href's relative to the serlvet. Make them context relative (leading /), or provide a base tag in the JSP to force the relative base.

Thanks Bear,
I made that change ... redeployed ... restarted my server ... added a symbolic link in my docroot dir to USER002 but still I get 404
The <a href> tags now look like this ...
<a href='/USER002/20040103120005.txt'>20040103120005.txt</a>
What else should I check?

Is USER002 located at the root of your web app? You simply need to create a URL that will address the location of the files. If the folder is located outside the range of the web server, no URL on earth will serve it up. (Though it's easy to write a servlet that can).
So, where are you storing the files?

Hi Bear,
bash-2.03$ pwd
/usr/local/home/Plank/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1
bash-2.03$ find . -name 'USER002'
./config/USER002
./docroot/USER002
./config/USER002 is an actual directory
./docroot/USER002 is a symbolic link to /usr/local/home/Plank/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/config/USER002
I beginning to think it is a problem with the symbolic link and that's going to be a problem for me
