how to setup a mapping from a context directory to an extern

how to setup a mapping from a context directory to an external directory?? I'm trying to have a internal directory in the context to point (internally) to a different directory, transparent for the user... In resin I could use :

<path-mapping>
<url-pattern>/jsp/*</url-pattern>
<real-path>c:/resin/resin-2.1.4/apps/ucs/</real-path>
</path-mapping>

is there any similar way in tomcat?? It's not about creating a different context, I could do that with , but actually I want the /jsp internal to an app be mapped to a different and shared directory. Is it possible?

I did some research into this, and found this reference:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/resources.html

However this does not work for me, because I cannot figure out how to get the classloader to load the class that I referenced in the tag. Any ideas?
