serving content from outside the context

[thakur]

I am using jboss4.0.5
I have a simple web app and want to serve up some images and html content, in the jsp pages, but the images and html content, is outside the context

The HTTP statement in jsp looks like




<c:import url="d:/webcontent/htmls">



I have read a lot about jboss and figure there must be a way to
configure server.xml and/or web.xml to allow this to work, but cannot
see it ?

If i set the path d:/webcontent/htmls as the context path, i will have to expose part of my hard drive and thus the html will be exposed. I dont want to do this.

Please suggest?

Hi

I am using Jboss-4.0.5 application server
I would like to include a HTML file which is placed outside the web application (eg: sample.war) in a JSP.

im using the following to include the HTML file
<jsp:include page='<%=filepath%>'/>

The issue is filepath is considered with reference to the application
example:
if filepath=C:/html/static/temp.html
then JSP include tag is considering path as /sample/C:/html/static/temp.html

But the structure for the HTML file is C:/html/static/temp.html ( local hard disk )

How to include the HTML file in such case?
Please help.

Regards

Perhaps an extrenal directory would help. See http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ExternalDirectories. The information is somewhat dated, but it should still apply to 4.0.5.
