I have a JSP page that list a bunch of hrefs like the one below. When the user clicks on this link it immediately starts up Adobe Reader and displays the file. On a PC they can email the file from the Reader. The problem is if a user brings this page up on their palm top that version of Reader does not have a email function. So I'd like to add a email link right next to this link. I know the mailto attachment option doesn't work with a URL, so I thought I'd have the link run a Java program. I'd like the program to save the file to a temp folder, create an email, attach the file, then delete the temp file.

I know how to do all that except for saving the file to the temp folder because it is a URL.

Any ideas or suggestions would be great!

Thanks,
Jon Mitchell
