Static content in external directories

[lepe]

This is possible in straight JBoss/Tomcat. But what about JBossNukes? Is it possible to link to html pages and/or images stored other place then within JBoss?

Works the same way in Nukes.
Add a context for your static rep. in jboss-service.xml

 <attribute name="Config">
 <Server>
 <Service name="JBoss-Tomcat">
 <Engine name="MainEngine" defaultHost="localhost">
 <Logger className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.Log4jLogger"
 verbosityLevel="debug" category="org.jboss.web.localhost.Engine"/>
 <Host name="localhost">

 <!-- Access logger -->
 <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
 prefix="localhost_access" suffix=".log"
 pattern="common" directory="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log"/>

 <!-- This valve clears any caller identity set by the realm
 and provides access to the realm about the existence of an
 authenticated caller to allow a web app to run with a realm
 that support unauthenticated identities. It also establishes
 any run-as principal for the servlet being accessed.
 -->
 <Valve className="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve"/>
 <!-- Default context parameters -->
 <DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true"/>
 <!-- Add a static context /images using directory /tmp/images -->
 <Context docBase='C:/tmp/images' path='/tmpimages' />

URLs beginning with /tmpimages will be "catched" by jboss web server before Nukes.

Another way is to use Apache in front of JBoss. See related posts.
Hope this helps
