JBoss 7 Directory Mapping

[mrober]

I'm very new to JBoss and I'm trying to set up virtual directories in JBoss AS 7. That is, I'd like to map a local static path such as

C:/images

to

http://www.myurl.com/images

I'm sure it's a simple thing, but I've been through the guides and I'm unable to find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hm...

So, after days of digging, I've found solutions for all previous versions of JBoss, but none of them seem to work with AS 7. Has anyone had any success?

Hi,

I am stuck with a similar problem. I'm sure the mapping can be done...but am not sure where and how.

Have you been able to find a solution?

Dipak,

I found this: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2009/02/fileservlet-supporting-resume-and.html

Though not exactly what I was hoping for, it does get the job done. Just use it to suit your needs and modify your web.xml file accordingly. You'll need something like this:

<servlet>

  <display-name>FileServlet</display-name>

  <servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>

  <servlet-class>com.PACKAGENAME.FileServlet</servlet-class>

  <init-param>

   <param-name>basePath</param-name>

   <param-value>C:/images/</param-value>

  </init-param>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

  <servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>

  <url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

Hope that helps you or anyone else who stumbles across this thread with the same problem...

Thanks a ton. That solves my problem. I've coded on similar lines and the thing seems to be working like a charm
