There's lots of ways to access your content through various Alfresco APIs.   You shouldn't be trying to access the bin files directly.

You could read the content or properties and display it on your JSP.
Or you could use a web script to stream the content.

Are you using WCM?   If so you can deploy your content.

Thanks Mrogers for the reply.

Yes, we are using WCM in community network edition. We got stuck up at this point and were not able to move forward. How do we deploy the content, I am new to Alfresco so can you explain it in detail.

You can start here-> http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Content_Management

You will also find other information in these forums and on the wiki.

I'd also recommend Jeff Pott's new book on Alfresco. I have a copy on my desk and it looks good!
