Serving static content using embedded tomcat 7
Hello,
I am working on embedding tomcat 7 into our application. We have a number of
web apps and the static content is located in a different directory, common
to all webapps.
I am not finding a way to serve this static content. Could somebody please
help me out.
Thanks,
Sandhya

Folks are quite good at guessing things on this list, but you are making
it harder than it needs to be. Re-read Mark's answer, follow the link,
read the page carefully.
The rephrase your question and provide some real information.

Thanks for your reply. I have a global web.xml, where the DefaultServlet is
mapped.
The difference I see is that my static resources are not in the same
directory as the host's appBase. Could this be the problem ? How can the
static content be served in such a case ?

I would guess that you have not created nor mapped the DefaultServlet
instance in your context.
(In standalone Tomcat that mapping is done by conf/web.xml file that
is implicitly combined with every webapp's web.xml file.)

Sanu, you are wasting our time, and yours.

Re-read Mark's previous post, and read the document he pointed you to.
Then come back here and provide some *real* information.
Otherwise you are not going to get any more answers.

Re: Serving static content using embedded tomcat 7

Following are the answers to your questions :
1) Apache Tomcat/7.0.25
2) The resources reside in a folder inside the base directory
3) The other contexts use relative path to access the static files inside
this context
In addition to not being able to access the resources from any other
context, I am unable to access the static content directly as well. Gives me
a 404.
Thanks.

You haven't told us:
- exact Apache Tomcat version
- what the path to the resources is
- how the other contexts are referring to these resources
In addition to answering the questions above, I'd strongly recommend
reading [1]. It will help you write better questions which in turn will
get you more useful answers.

Thank you.
I just did that. Here's what I have :
StandardContext context = (StandardContext)
tomcat.addContext(null, "", <path to the static resource
directory");
This doesn't seem to work.

Why not just serve the static content as it's own application?

What have you tried?

If the suggestion above doesn't work, you can try 'aliases', see:
