Define a context tag under host tag in JBoss -as 7.1.1

[kiran.varanasi]

My current application is hosted in jboss 4.2.5.GA. And in my server.xml I defined one context path as following

<Context path="/Imagepath" docBase="/usr/kiran/Uploads" reloadable="true"></Context>

In uploads directory view->css->ex.css

Now I when I type http://localhost:8080/Imagepath/view/css/ex.css the ex.css is getting displayed in browser.

Now I want the same equivalent tag for jboss-as 7.1.1. Could you please anybody help me?

There isn't a 4.2.5.GA release.

So you want to display content outside of your web application (.war file)?

Yes, I want to access files from the sever having a particular context and able to access those files. This avaulable in jBoss 4.2.5.GA. For that we need to add the context tag under host tag of server.xml in the jBoss4.2.5.GA. Please let me know what should be done in standalone.xml for jBoss-as 7.1.1. That could be a great help for me.

There is still no 4.2.5.GA ;-)

You could have an exploded WAR and place your files there. I'm not sure if there will be better support in WildFly for "virtual contexts" again.

Hi Nicklas Karlsson,

      What I excatly needed is the <context > tag equivalent in JBoss-AS 7.1.1 standalone.xml asI needed to host some files (configfiles, scripts,css, and js) in server as a separate application.

So could you please let me know ....

Thanks in Advance......

If you create a directory named "resources.war" in the deployments folder (and have auto-deployed exploded archives on in the web subsystem, I think it should be on by default), you can then have subdirectories in there like "css" and reference them /resources/css/my.css etc. Not sure if you have to throw in an empty web.xml or not in order for it to be recognized.
