RE: getting Tomcat 5.0 to serve static content
-Original Message-
From: Matthew Hixson
I'm using Tomcat 5.0.26 with JBoss 3.2.4. I'm attempting
to upgrade from Tomcat 4.1.something that was included with
JBoss 3.2.3. I cannot figure out how to configure a
context so that Tomcat will serve files from a specific
directory. The directory contains images and should be
accessible outside of any specific webapp. The files are
stored in /usr/local/watermarks and the URLs to them need
to look like http://mymachine.com/watermarks/bar.jpg.
Context path=/watermarks docBase=/usr/local/watermarks/
I've read all the docs I could find on the Apache Tomcat
site and used Google to find examples and I cannot find
anything that tells me how to do this. In the previous
version of Tomcat I had put the above Context element
into
/usr/local/jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar
/META-INF/
jboss-service.xml. But in Tomcat 5.0 it looks like that
has moved to jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml.
If you read the docs enough times it suggests that the Context element
should be an anyName.xml, in {catalina.home}/conf/host/
Where it hides, just the Context element in an xml file per app.
(I found it useful to name the file after the app)

Re: getting Tomcat 5.0 to serve static content
I'm not familiar with JBoss stuff but I think to make a context work, you'll need the WEB-INF dir and the associated web.xml ...

I did see that in the docs and tried it. Still didn't work. I don't
know if I'm seeing strange behavior because of the way Tomcat is
embedded in JBoss or what.
