configure jBoss to use static document hierarchy

[pjw]

hello,
I have several applications running under jBoss4.0.1sp1/Tomcat 5.0 under
/usr/local/java/jboss-4.0.1sp1/server/default/deploy

At the same machine, I have a bunch of static documents, located under
/users/sid/docs

I would like to be able to access those static documents directly, e.g.
http://localhost:8080/users/sid/docs/index.html

Does anyone know how to configure jBoss to be able to access those documents from the given directory, independent of the web-application context? Alternatively, make them available from within a web-application without moving the documents?

best regards,
pj

to answer my own question:
this is possible by using the allowLinking-attribute of Tomcat. Add the following to server.xml in the Tomcat sar-directory.


Then it will be possible to add symbolic links to anywhere you like

/pj

seems like the tags disappeared...

Add the following to server.xml in the Tomcat sar-directory.
< DefaultContext allowLinking="true" / >
