Adding an additional static resource directory to a webapp via API
I'm launching Tomcat 7 via the API.
One of the uses of this is that I can launch from Eclipse and
'live-edit' my static files, without tangling myself up in the Eclipse
JEE facilities, which I have never succeeded in using very well.
Now, I want to meld some shared content into the webapp. In the maven
build, I use the maven 'overlay' concept. For live development, I'm
looking to do the same thing.
Essentially, I want to map in a directory of additional static
resources into the Context. I see addResourceJarUrl, and I wonder what
it does with a file:/ url, though the comment in the javadoc about
META-INF/resources suggests that I'd need to conform to that directory
structure. (and reading the code in BaseDirContext confirms this).
Is 'addAlias' the way to go here?

Yes. It's a jquery theme at the moment.
I just posted a bz with code I wrote involving subclasses of
StandardContext and also FileDirContext that pulls this off.
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52236. What do you
think?

What is the shared content? Static files?
