The goal is to get that mapped drive into the context of my web-app. Regardless of wether the folder is on or off the server--how do I map a virtual folder from web.xml. Is it possible? I want everything with a certain URL pattern to request content from a folder that is not in the usual place. Thanks! Aaron

Ofcourse you could run into a few problems if "my_ap" is the Context and "my_dir" isn't under "my_ap". RS "Rutledge, Aaron" <ARutledge@5prime To: "Tomcat Users List (E-mail)" .com> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 08/02/02 04:49 PM Subject: adding a virtual directory Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" I'm sorry for this very basic question, but I can't find an answer anywhere. Within my web application I would like to map everything requested from one directory (such as http://my.com/my_ap/my_dir) to another directory located on another server (mapped like \\Server_name\directory\my_static_content). Can I do this from my application's web.xml or only by specifying a virtual directory in server.xml? I would rather keep everything self-contained so that I can deploy it on other servers without modifying the server.xml on each machine deployed. Surely there is a way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
