mapping directory in Tomcat?
Hi,
My server runs only tomcat 5.5, and my app needs to copy some jpeg files to
a temporary directory so that the generated page can refer to them like:
<img src = "http://mydomain.com/temp/J12345.jpg", now how to map a directory
in the file system to http:/mydomain.com/temp? Thanks.
A.C.

To complete the answer, you can use JNDI variables.

Not much to say; your servlet would take the pathInfo part of the
URL and read that image out of the filesystem.
The path to your external temp directory could be hardcoded in the
servlet, set in web.xml, or read from a properties file (my pref).
Pretty straightforward...
HTH!

Hi Hassan,
The servlet mapped directory sounds interesting, can you give me some more
info about that?
Thanks,

You could use a symlink, or you could use a servlet mapped to /temp/*
