jboss 4 static content access

monisha Jul 31, 2006 6:53 PM

Hi,
I was using Jboss3.2.3 until recently and the way we served static content was to add the path to the jboss-service.xml in the jbosswebtomcat.sar/META-INF in the tag Context.
Migrating over to jboss 4+ looks like this tag (Context) is no longer supported. The alternate way suggested is to have the static content copied below in ROOT.war and since this is the default context, files will be accessible.

Is there any way similar to the earlier 3.2.3 configuration where a path could be specified and there is no need to copy files within the appserver directory structure? This way files external to the webserver world can be served

Thanks in advance

I havent done this before, but have you tried creating a file like myapp.xml containing something like:

<Context docBase="C:/mydir/images/" debug="9" crossContext="false" privileged="false" reloadable="true" path="/yourwebapp/images"/>

Place this myapp.xml file in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar directory and try it out.

Let us know if this works.

Hi,

I am trying to do it for JBoss 4.3, can not get it work.

Where does the name of "myapp.xml" come from? Is it match to something?

Thanks!
