[users@httpd] Reading images from a jar
Hi all,
we have developed a block to add a new section to our page.
http://juntadeandalucia.es/28f2009/index.html
This section is independent from the rest of the portal. Since we are
using Apache httpd to serve all images, css and js we had to implement a
rewrite rule to the work dir of tomcat (our application is a j2ee app).
Something like:
RewriteRule "^/themes/images/28f2009/(.*)\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|ico)$"
"$PORTAL/work/blocks/conectorEspeciales/themer/themes/common/images/$1.$2" [L]
We cannot do this anymore out of constraints from our production
department and are looking into ways to link to the resources in the
block lib not pointing into the work dir of tomcat.
Can I link into a jar via httpd directly?
I mean can I use something like
RewriteRule "^/themes/images/28f2009/(.*)\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|ico)$"
"$PORTAL/WEB-INF/lib/conectorEspeciales.jar:/themer/themes/common/images/$1.$2" [L]
Any ideas and thoughts welcome.
TIA
salu2

Hmm, yeah, I hoped it could.

Yeah, that definitely will work.

You cannot have apache serve files inside a jar. (A jar is a
compressed archive, after all).
What I would do in your case is extract the static content from your
webapp, and deploy it to your apache webroot seperately. Using aliases
or rewrites to make requests for this content map to your static files
in stead of your tomcat instance is than relatively straightforward.
