Need to serve static resources from outside my EAR

[satyakatti]

Hi All,

I have an EAR with multiple WAR applications. Since all these WARs use same images/js/css, what I did was to put all such static contents into

another Utility WAR application and modify the paths in my html/jsp/xhtml to point to Utility.WAR application for loading static resources.

But now I would like JBoss to serve these static resources instead of serving from a WAR which makes my application faster also.

Can you let me know how to configure JBoss for this purpose?

Regards,

Satya

JBoss can serve static content pretty fast with AJP on Linux. And so I really wonder if what "faster" means in this case? Take a look at this:  http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowToAddAprToJBoss

Generally, if you need to serve lots of static content you can front Jboss AS with Apache Web server which can transparentely cache your static assets, including css, javascript and images. Using two separate web applications -one for static content- and another for dynamic is not a good design choice for several reasons. You'd better pack it in a single application.
