You could define a servlet that takes care of this for you. And add that
mapping to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file. The
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet does something like this. It looks for
a *.jsp in the URL. See $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml and source code for
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet for more details

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

Assuming you are using Windows OS, you could map a drive on the source
machine pointing to the shared destination directory. Ofcourse you could
run into a few problems if  "my_ap" is the Context and "my_dir" isn't
under
"my_ap".

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! Regards, Aaron
