I'm working on a virtual learning environment. It's essentially one
huge webapp. We don't want to manage files on the physical filestore;
instead, we want to use our own virtual filestore, for reasons too zany
to go into.
Is there a way of setting eg. an appBase or a docBase so that it points,
not to filestore, but to a URI? If so, we can add an appropriate
handler to the URIs so that we manage vfs:... and everything Just Works.
Failing that, is there another appropriate mechanism for intercepting
filestore access from Tomcat and redirecting it to our own code?
A bit of an open question, I know. The Tomcat 4 documentation appears
to indicate that a Host's appBase is a URL but, on trying it with
5.0.28, file: URLs are not recognised, let alone anything more
outlandish.
All help gratefully received!
