Be sure to do this in your Component constructor or another appropriate spot:
getClients().add(Protocol.CLAP); Then you want something like: Directory directory = new Directory(getContext(), "clap://*system/* images/"); The "host" part of the clap: URI must be specified: one of "system" or "thread" will probably be right for your environment. I find when serving static content via CLAP, I often want to modulate client caching behavior so as not to beat on the classloader with repeat requests -- the classloader does not give reliable information about file modification times for stuff inside a non-extracted WAR or JAR. For a Directory subclass that fakes it, see: http://gogoego.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/modules/RestletFoundation/src/com/solertium/container/ClapCacheDirectory.java - R
