I've gotten Jboss/Jetty to serve static content by adding the following to jbossweb-jetty.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml
/
/htdocs
This was taken from the FAQ at: http://www.coredevelopers.net/technology/jetty/jetty-jboss-faq.jsp#I_want_to_serve_content_from_outside_a
However, it doesn't follow symbolic links within the static context. Does anyone know how to enable follow-links functionality?
For a variety of security reasons and their associated problems, Jetty does not support symbolic links for content and for its classloader, AFAIK. I think was discussed in a Jetty mailing list.
