[ Jetty ] addContext : Problem

[kryptontri]

Hello,

Jboss Ver 3.04
Jetty Ver 4.2 (?)

Scenario:
I deploy my application as an ear ( which contains a war etc and an images folder.
I want users to upload photos and then serve them, yet i wish to keep that packaged ear separate.

I add the following to the
\deploy\jbossweb.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml


/
G:/projects/live/jboss/jboss-3.0.4/server/myserver/deploy/myapp/docroot
TRUE


This should allow me to access anything under the docroot folder AND the doc root under inside the war (?).

No luck :-( ( see below )

Ok so i comment out the tag regarding ServingResources and .. jetty starts up fine ... BUT .. i still cannot access resources/files under docroot/*

I have done some research and have not found much w.r.t this issue.

Can anybody help me with this or recommend an alternative approach ?

I have a few options:

1) Try again with Jetty/Jboss
2) Write a File/Image Servlet to serve content from this dir

Any Ideas People ?

Thanks K.

Hi People,

Any ideas with this issue ? I am still stuck and have to make a decision in the next few days ?

Thanks Again,
K

If your intention is to write uploaded files into the deploy directory - then you are doing it wrong. Anything in the deploy dir should be considered temporary - not a place to keep important data.

You should pass a working directory as a param to your webapp and upload and serve files from there.

If you want to map this working directory to a Jetty context, in jboss-service.xml, to save explicitly serving the files yourself then ask on jetty-discuss@yahoogroups about the setServingResources() method on Context, which was dropped a while ago. I am sure Greg will point you in the right direction.

Let me know the answer and I will update my Jetty/Jboss FAQ,
