Hi, I hope this is the right mailing list for this question

I am using tomcat 5.0.28
I have a simple web app and want to serve up some images in the jsp 
pages, but the images are outside the context

The HTTP statement looks like
<tr><td>
<img alt="thumb image" src="/data/webData/family/DSC01183.JPG"/>
</td></tr>

The web app is under /usr/local/tomcat/webapp/family
On the browser it only shows "thumb image" as it cannot get to the 
hyperlink http://xx.xx.xx.xx/data/webData/family/DSC01183.JPG
(IP shown as xx.xx.xx.xx for security)

I have read a lot about tomcat and figure there must be a way to 
configure server.xml and/or web.xml to allow this to work, but cannot 
see it ?

It is possible ?

Are you wanting TC to serve the static files or do you use AJP connector 
and Apache.  The easiest way to serve files from outside is to let 
Apache serve them and configure up AJP connector, then mount the entire 
content or just *.jsp pages to TC.
