...but I'm not a puriest so have at it :P
One option is to use a servlet that serves static files from directories and map that servlet in your web application's web.xml. This is nowhere near as robust or secure as putting httpd infront of your servlet containers. Again since this _could_ point outside the application directory it's a poor solution.
Otherwise (as in Carl's suggestion): You can "overlap" URI mappings to contexts.
So you can map:
/app1 -> fooApplication.war /app1/images -> /usr/home/tomcat/images
as long as your images directory is a deployable web application.

Hello all,
I had a friend ask me on the phone a couple days ago, and now a question has popped up at javaranch. I've looked in the docs and googled, but haven't found a definitive 'no' answer (shouldn't life be that simple?). Thought I'd ask here.
Is there such a thing as directory aliasing / virtual directories (like you get in Apache), available in Tomcat?
so you'd specify that /images is *really* over here at /usr/local/some/funky/place/images
I like to tell people they don't need Apache, unless they're doing "special" stuff. Would this be one of those "special" things ?
