Thanks for the reply, I actually figured it a few hours later. I was trying
to do 2/ in your list. I added a PICS.xml and a DOCS.xml under the
${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory which gave me the PICS
and DOCS contexts. ie:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]$ pwd
/home/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/conf/Catalina/localhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]$ ls
DOCS.xml host-manager.xml manager.xml PICS.xml
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]$ cat PICS.xml
<Context docBase="/mnt/CMFiles/PICS"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]$ cat PICS.xml
<Context docBase="/mnt/CMFiles/PICS"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] localhost]$ cat PICS.xml DOCS.xml
<Context docBase="/mnt/CMFiles/PICS"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>
<Context docBase="/mnt/CMFiles/DOCS"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>

So, are you trying to
1/ have a Tomcat-run webapp serve content that exists outside of the
context path?
2/ setup the static content as its own webapp (context)?
For #1, the (portable, spec-friendly) way is to write a servlet or
filter to intercept requests for a given URI, open the matching file as
an InputStream, and push the data to the client via the Response
OutputStream.
For #2, I don't remember the exact syntax off the top of my head so I
won't waste your time with something that may not work. =) But it's
definitely possible for a webapp to not exist under the "webapps/"
directory.
Just make sure said webapp has a WEB-INF directory and a web.xml. Even
a web.xml of just
<web-app/>
should do.
