Adding an additional static resource directory to a webapp via API
I'm launching Tomcat 7 via the API. One of the uses of this is that I can launch from Eclipse and 'live-edit' my static files, without tangling myself up in the Eclipse JEE facilities, which I have never succeeded in using very well. Now, I want to meld some shared content into the webapp. In the maven build, I use the maven 'overlay' concept. For live development, I'm looking to do the same thing. Essentially, I want to map in a directory of additional static resources into the Context. I see addResourceJarUrl, and I wonder what it does with a file:/ url, though the comment in the javadoc about META-INF/resources suggests that I'd need to conform to that directory structure. (and reading the code in BaseDirContext confirms this). Is 'addAlias' the way to go here? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Yes. It's a jquery theme at the moment. I just posted a bz with code I wrote involving subclasses of StandardContext and also FileDirContext that pulls this off. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52236. What do you think?
