In order to access your system files from browser using tomcat,you have to create context path for the system files in tomcat server. xml like below. Now you can see the files in your browser.By typing the below url.
By default, these files are located at TOMCAT-HOME/conf/server. xml and TOMCAT-HOME/conf/web.
list() returns the array of files and directories in the directory defined by this abstract path name. The method returns null, if the abstract pathname does not denote a directory.
By the sounds of it, your application is storing files in the current directory of the JVM, which happens to be the "bin" directory when you launch the web server via NetBeans. If so, you will find them, in whatever the current directory is when Tomcat is launched as a windows service.
The DefaultServlet of Tomcat is by default configured to not show directory listings. You need to open Tomcat's own /conf/web.xml file (look in Tomcat installation folder), search the <servlet> entry of the DefaultServlet and then change its listings initialization parameter from
<init-param> <param-name>listings</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> to
<init-param> <param-name>listings</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> Keep in mind that this affects all folders of your webapp. If you want to enable this for only an individual folder, you've got to write some Servlet code yourself which does the job with help of the java.io.File API in servlet side to collect the files and some bunch of HTML/CSS in JSP side to present it in a neat fashion.
