Virtual directory for static content

[charles.johnson]

I am trying to set up a virtual directory on my wildfly server, for serving up static content.

in accordance with instructions I have found on various sites I set up a handler in my standalone.xml, as follows:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:undertow:3.1">

            <buffer-cache name="default"/>

            <server name="default-server">

.........

            </server>

            <handlers>

    <file name="/images" path="c:/test" directory-listing="true"/>

</handlers>

The assumption is that I can now navigate to https://localhost:8443/images/jackolantern.jpg and access that file, but it does not work, I receive a 404 error from the server.

Is this set up correctly? Am I missing an additional setting?

The snippet you posted doesn't show where you are actually referencing the handler, and defining the URL path where that static content can be reached.

<server name="default-server">

  <host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
    <location name="/images" handler="images"/>
  </host>

    .........

</server>

Additionally, you need to remove the leading slash from the file handler name.  You are trying to set a path there, where it's just supposed to be a name that's referenced.
