HOW TO - Include a directory as a context at startup

[andrew mercer]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how one can add a directory as a parameter/argument at 
startup so that the global application sees it in its path and can 
access a jar file stored under this directory.

I have an application that uses an applet that needs to access the 
relevant jar file as follows:

<param name=\"archive\" value=\"/[directory]/[Applet].jar\">

Using jetty I can add an extra context by having the following in the 
jetty.xml configuration file:

<Call name="addContext">
  <Arg>/viewer</Arg>
  <Set name="ResourceBase">viewer</Set>
  <Set name="ServingResources">TRUE</Set>
</Call>
I have searched within the tomcat documentation/FAQ and archives and as 
yet have not found how to do the same in tomcat.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks Andrew
