How to configure App for static files

[Maxim Kazitov <mv...@gmail.com>]

Is it any way to configure Tomcat to serve static files from particular
folder on the disk ? I suspect It should be some kind of simple application,
but have no idea how to configure it.

Any help/hints are welcome.....

Assuming you're using a supported version of Tomcat (you didn't tell us), create a file named conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml that contains a <Context> element with a docBase attribute pointing to the directory of interest.  The value of [host] depends on what you have in server.xml; the default is localhost.  The value of [appName] is the URI path to use to access the static information.

For the current Tomcat version, the doc is here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html

You can create a separate Context with an docBase anywhere; see
the documentation for your version.
