Guru, Earl isn't the only one trying to do this. Here are the details for my attempts which may or may not be similar to his:
- Running TC 5.5.8, JVM 1.5.0_02-b09 under Win XP Pro SP2 - I have a set of static pages (starting with index.htm) stored at C:\www\aegean - C:\www\agean\WEB-INF\web.xml contains <web-app/> - I wish to access them as http://www.peacham.com/aegean - aegean is just one of many such directories. - It works if I copy it to {TOMCAT_BASE}\webapps\aegean but that creates maintenance headaches by coupling the TC directory structure to the web site directory structure. - I have tried building a webapps/aegean directory with just WEB-INF and adding aegean.xml to {TOMCAT-BASE}\conf\Catalina\localhost containing: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context path="/aegean" docbase="c:/www/aegean" reloadable="true"> <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource> </Context> but all I get is 404 errors and no hint of other errors in the logs. I have tried a couple of variations with equally poor results. Thanks for any help you can give Fritz -----Original Message----- From: Raghupathy,Gurumoorthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 1:10 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Need help exporting contexts not under webapps/ Not clear what you want.

Ryan Earl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 April 2005 19:16 To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Need help exporting contexts not under webapps/ Hello, I'm in the process of bringing an in-house application up under Tomcat. Previously we were using Jetty as the servlet container, but for various reason I'm trying to get said application running with Tomcat 5.5.9 and Java 1.5.0. The problem I'm having is that there are two directories with a large amount of static files (pictures, videos, documents, and other forms of media) that are mounted outside of the webapps/ home. Under Jetty, there is a configuration directive that I can use to export these directories under a URL path. I'm trying to do that in Tomcat, and the documentation has been somewhat confusing. What I've gathered is that this type of configuration should be put under ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/context.xml however I have been able to do this successfully. I've tried putting the following in context.xml but it gives me errors: <Context path="/DOCS" docBase="/mnt/CMFiles/DOCS" debug="0"> </Context> So my question is, in short, given a directory structure of static files, how do you get Tomcat to serve said static content off of an arbitrary URI? Ideas?
