In My application I want to send attachements
along with plain message(just like yahoo).
But how do i protect folders(in appache-tomcat server) which will contain this attachements.what i mean user can type URL of this folder and see this attachements.I want only valid (logged in) user acess the attachement by clicking on a link on the web page how to do this.
some proposed to keep it away from webroot.

descriptor.i tried this but it is not working
Please show me some way regarding this.

Basically i want to hide folder url in jsp pages please give some advice

normally in database column width will always
6 times width you give in textfield maxlength
what i mean is if textfield length is 500
then in table column width is 500*6=3000
This is standard internalization procedure
