trouble moving to Jboss from BEA Weblogic, need different se

[scottjo1]

I have been tasked with getting one of our products to work with Jboss, its a web-app. Anyway, the directory tree won't work because we are calling a servlet from weblogic, named: weblogic.servlet.FileServlet

the purpose of this servlet was to map the url to a file directory, are there any servlets local to JBOSS that do this same thing and if so, what are they or where could i go to find a list of them or something like that, thanks for any help!

DefaultServlet ?

[saurabh_agr]

i have something like this in web.xml for weblogic :

<servlet>

  <servlet-name>scripts/CM/xml</servlet-name>

  <servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.FileServlet</servlet-class>

      <init-param>

          <param-name>docHome</param-name>

          <param-value>c:\sk\document</param-value>

       </init-param>

  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>

        <servlet-name>scripts/CM/xml</servlet-name>

        <url-pattern>/scripts/CM/xml/*</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

as per your suggestion i should use this for jboss :

<servlet>

        <servlet-name>scripts/CM/xml</servlet-name>

        <servlet-class>

          org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet

        </servlet-class>

  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>

        <servlet-name>scripts/CM/xml</servlet-name>

        <url-pattern>/scripts/CM/xml/*</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

my question : what is the init-parameter name in DefaultServlet corresponding to docHome in FileServlet ?

thanks.

please reply some one.......

You have to put your files in an exploted war and the default servlet will serve them.

[saurabh_agr]

i have a running application on weblogic in which files are placed outside war and are mapped by using docHome init-param of FileServlet.

Please inform, Is there any option to do the same thing in jboss as is done by docHome init-param of FileServlet in weblogic?

thanks.

Nope that breaks servlet specs and would make your whole server "unsafe".

The trick is to use a symlink and modify StandardContext to allow AllowLinking. (See AS7-3414).
