Hello:

First some brief background....

I have been using JBoss 3.0.4 with embedded Catalina 4.0.6
successfully for quite some time now.
I typically run multiple web apps (both JSP and servlets) as
well as a number of EJBs. These
applications have a combination of both static html pages (very
few) as well as dynamically
generated pages (most of them are like this). In either case,
everything that is needed for a
specfic app is contained in its associated war file(s).

Recently, I had a new requirement though that I need some
assistance with. Unlike my typcial
situation above, I now have a hiearchal directory of truely
static pages that needs to be served
in combination with one of my more typical dynamic apps.

I placed the directory into the deploy directory and thought
that all would be fine. However,
this did not work (page not found errors) as I navigated to
http://ip:port/<path to static page>.
I then decided to wrap the static page directory hiearchy inside
of an exploded war file
directory structure with a trivial web.xml descriptor. This
get's me further in that if I
now navigate to http://ip:port//<path to static page>,
the browser will find it for
SOME files. Basically everything that is in the top directory
of static directory hiearchy is
now visible. However, anything referencing something in any of
the static subdirs provides the
"page not found" error.....

I've looked into the tomcat-service.xml and played with adding a
specifc context with a different
docbase to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something simple as
I've never had to worry about
this before. I'd appreciate any assistance and appropriate
config file snippets.

Thanks!
