The URL below describes mapping external Directories as web application so the static content is available for other applications to use

Question

Tomcat also has another configuration where in the external Static directory can be mapped to an container managed web application

This can be achieved as by creating a file with named as

Eg: APP1#images.xml with content as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Context

docBase="D:/JAVA/images"

workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\APP1">

</Context>

Where http://127.0.0.1:8080/APP1 is the web application and images is a static folder mapped via ‘APP1#images.xml’ within

APP1 and can be directly referred to the static images folder as http://127.0.0.1:8080/APP1/images

HOW can we achieve this in JBOSS ?
