A Simple Advice

[Alvaro Seixas <lu...@yahoo.com.br>]

Hello List!!

I need a simple advice from you guys. I'm running TC 4.1 on Win 2K.

I need to share large amounts of static content (image files) between contexts. These images will be stored in 12 shared folders (in a NAS storage). What's the best approach to do that??

I thought of creating a context - in webapps - and use symlinks, but there's a restriction for that on Win enviroments. I know that if I just add a 'imgapp.xml' file - with docBase=\\x.x.x.x.\img01 - it works since Tomcat uses a default 'web.xml'. However, is this right??
Also, do I have to create 12 contexts in order to serve all the images??

Please, let me know if you need more info.

Thanks in advance,
Alvaro

The last way (the one without the web.xml) should work fine.
