I deploy to Windows as a WAR and I have a WebServerResources directory
at the root of the WAR, at the same level as WEB-INF and META-INF.
To get the image and .css, .js, etc files put in there when I build I
have the following in the SSDD target of my Ant build.xml file:
<mkdir dir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WebServerResources" />
<copy todir="${dest.dir}/${project.name}/WebServerResources">
<fileset dir="WebServerResources">
<include name="**" />
</fileset>
</copy>
I really can't remember if that is something I added or if it was
already in the build.xml file by default.
This allows me to copy one WAR file to the server and when Tomcat
starts up, it expands the WAR to a SSDD and the images, css, etc are
all where they need to be for the app. No additional steps.
I'm unclear as to what you are talking about as far as validating the
path and hiding the directory. Are you trying to keep people from
getting access to the files in WebServerResources without the request
going through the WO application?

and images directory .
one of the difficulties in the current project is, that I can only
upload/provide a WAR ;-) I don't have any direct access to anything
else and also want to keep the installation procedure as much simple
as possible.
My idea would be to validate the wodata path against something like
WEBINFOROOT/MyApp.woa/Contents/WebServerResources (or better but
less secure to catch all frameworks) - path must contain
"WebServerResources"...
Much better would be to additionally encrypt the string to hide the
physical directory completely.
