Tomcat 6 and images
Hi!
I'm using tomcat with wicket framework for my webapplication. My images,
css, flashes resides outside the container and therefor I'm using a Servlet
to serve the files.
Is there any builtin function to get files outside the container?

static images,css and flash are normally served by apache http://httpd.apache.org/could you explain specifically what you want to serve inside TC and why you prefer to serve <static> resources in a container vs Apache http<d> webserver?Martin ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.

It always depends on exactly what you up to, how you deploy etc...
But yes... one way is to...
Set the (read up on context stuff) the docbase to an external folder ...
So you have a webapp that works outside of /webapps
Then in your webapp proper... you just adress the URI of that webapps for
images.
If you decide later to put the images on say Apache... no problem, same
idea.
So you dont really have to write a servlet to do it... although if well
done, its nice having that as well.
The browser comes back for images... so just about anything is possible.

No. There have been some recent vulnerabilities with particular
configurations in this area but these are fixed in the latest 5.5.x and
6.0.x releases.

Do what Filip suggested; create a <Context> element in conf/Catalina/localhost/images.xml with this value:
<Context docBase="/absolute/path/to/images"/>
This creates another webapp named "images" (specified by the name of the .xml file) located outside of Tomcat's directory tree. Point your static content URLs to /images/[filename.type] to have Tomcat's DefaultServlet deliver them.

Thanks!
I'm currently deploying using ROOT.war. Here is the server.xml content.
How can I fit the images into this beacuse I don't quite follow.
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Alias>myhost</Alias>
</Host>
</Engine>

sure there is,
you can deploy it by using a context
<Context docBase="/path/to/static-resources" path="/images"/>
