Charlie, I came up with something that satisfies my current needs, but
I would hope there is a more fail-safe approach. Essentially I turn the
generic browse switch for the default server on, add my virtual mapping,
and then turn off browsing specific to my app's war. It's like the
reverse of what you do for security. Imagine in your /etc/hosts.allow
you permit all access, then one by one plug the holes... Thanks for the
followup, BenG.
(a)
$CONTAINER_DIR/servers/default/default-ear/default-war/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml
<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/logs/*</resource-path>
<system-path>$CONTAINER_DIR/logs</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>
(b) $CONTAINER_DIR/servers/samples/SERVER-INF/default-web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>jrun.servlet.file.FileServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>browseDirs</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
(c) In the web.xml for the .war's that you deploy add:
<servlet>
<init-param>
<param-name>browseDirs</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>jrun.servlet.file.FileServlet</servlet-class>
<description>This servlet overrides FileServlet in
SERVER-INF/default-web.xml.</description>
</servlet>
