Now here's what I really want (it never ends, does it):
Is there a way, within a single context, to separate out the static content to some other file system location.
I'd like to be able to deploy my war file with library jars, configuration info, classes, etc., into the "safe" location within the jboss deploy directory.
But, I'd like to have all of my static content (again, "/images/whatever.gif") elsewhere on the file system.
I believe that Yoav's suggestion is that I set up the empty
path ("") context for this purpose. However, this is where
I started, and Justin argued against this "cross-context"
approach.So is there a way to accomplish this separation within a single context?
Many, many thanks. It's amazing how, even with a stack of books and google and jakarta and all, there's no substitute for talking with people.

Configure the server to serve that WAR file with a context path of "" (the empty string). This can be done in tomcat in three ways: - Add a Context entry in conf/server.xml whose path="" and docBase is your WAR - Add an xml file with the Context tag to conf/[engine name]/[host name] (same path and docBase) - Put same XML file as above in your WAR file's META-INF directory instead of under the conf directory (tomcat 5 only).
