Heiko, In the meantime, I found that solution as well... I tried it, and the default seems to be a "work" directory in "target". I guess I can set another value for the attribute if I manage to convince jetty to do that for me. What I forgot to mention is that the directory is to contain images that are to be served by jetty... So it means the directory should be logically under webapp, but not in the war (of course).
If I use a link from inside the war to some regular file system location, I'll probably run into the same problem as before. Any idea how to do this? Job H.
