This has got to be a candidate for the worst, messiest solution ever...

Worse comes to worse, you could have two applications... one that holds and serves up the mp3 files and the other that does all the other work...

I'm sure there is a hole a mile wide in this idea...

That could get quite tricky if you're running out of a WAR archive.  If 
your application is deployed in "unpacked" format, then you could 
sym-link (on Un*x anyway) to it I would think.  So you'd wind up with a 
sym-link in your root (or protected under WEB-INF) that pointed to the 
real directory.  I can't think of another elegant solution.  Maybe 
someone else can.

I am trying to access multiple music files (mp3 format) form this app. I don't want to wrap all of my mp3 files which total to about 1 GB in my war file. This makes for a very lenghty deploy process, especially when it is work in progress. I just want to put them in a directory on the server where Tomcat is running and point to that directory in my application. How is this done. Your help is greatly appreciated.
