Howdy, >Yes, I'm serving images directly out of this directory.
Then I would reduce your options to 2: - Have Apache serve the images, not tomcat, i.e. have the img src point to the Apache server. - Have Tomcat serve the images by including a copy of the images in your WAR file. Symbolic links are not suitable for this task ;) Yoav Shapira > >Web app: /path/to/tomcat/webapps/foo >Context: /foo >Images: /path/to/apache/images > >index.jsp contains an image link -> src="images/foo.jpg" > >Rob Abernethy >Dynamic Edge, Inc. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 3:42 PM >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: RE: Deployment with Symbolic Links > > >Howdy, > >>Is using a WAR file the best way to deploy a web app to a remote >server? > >Yes. > >>Is there a better way to reload the web app other than to remove and >>reinstall it? > >You can use the Tomcat Manager's webapp deploy/reload mechanisms, either >graphically in the browser or via Ant. > >>Is there a better way to grant the web app access to the image >directory >>other than the symbolic link? > >There are alternatives, including: >- Specifying the image directory name (absolute path) in your web.xml as >a context-param or servlet-param, or in another configuration file your >app reads. > >- Specifying the image directory as an env-entry-ref in your web.xml and >defining it as a resource in the server, i.e. in server.xml for tomcat. > >- Including the images in your WAR. > >- Putting the images in a database. > >Are you serving images directly out of this directory, i.e. it's part of >an <img src=...> tag? > >Yoav Shapira > > > >This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business >communication, and may contain information that is confidential, >proprietary and/or privileged.
