Access to directories outside document root?
Hello,
Is it possible to obtain access to an arbitrary directory (possibly
mounted file) which is not below the Tomcat webapps directory from
within a webapp? GetServletContext.getRealpath("") seems to only access
directories below the webapp app directory...
Thanks in advance...
Rob.

RE: Access to directories outside document root?
Thanks for your response.
The servlet will simply launch a Timer Task that will periodically obtain a
list of files under /foo/bar, examine their timestamps and delete the file if
its shelflife has expired. There is no requirement to expose anything...
Thanks,
Rob.

What exactly do you want to achieve?
For example: If you want the contents of the directory /foo/bar to be
accessible via, say
http:///mybardir
you simply have to create a definition with the "docBase"-attribute
set appropriately.

web.xml config
Hello, I need to deliver a WAR file to a customer. The cutomer will ultimately need to change the webapp configuration however they would like to do so without having to compile a new WAR file. Is it possible to change web.xml config parameters after deployment, ideally using a GUI? Thanks, Rob.

Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.

RE: Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.
Thanks for your response, I don't see a "web" folder for Tomcat, only under webapps. Will I need to deploy a WAR file to do this?

I understand what you are saying... My appbase is the default "webapps" directory. Under webapps I created a video\3gp folder and in it is a file video.3gp. I added the following Mime mapping to the web.xml 3gp video/3gpp I stopped and then started tomcat and entered the URL in the browser http://localhost:8080/video/3gp/video.3gp however I receive 404 "The requested resource is not available... -Original Message- From: John Powers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 11:13 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.

RE: Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.
Thanks for your response. I placed it under ROOT and I get the message HTTP Status 404 - video/3gp/video.3gp. What's interesting is that if I enter http://localhost:8080/ I get the admin page and then if I append video I see directory listing containing the 3gp directory, append 3gp and see video.3gp etc. I can get to the file this way but I want to specify the entire URL at once... -Original Message- From: P Y [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 12:07 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.

RE: Serve a file instead of a page using Tomcat.
Yes I suspected that too and started deleting all offline content before each attempt.. no luck. I've become more adventurous and have now specified a "video" directory (same level as webapps folder) and created a ROOT under it and then a 3gp\video.3gp under that. I set the localhost appbase to "video" I stopped and then started Tomcat. I hit http://localhost:8080/3gp/video.3gp in the browser and I get "The page cannot be found" I'm missing something. I found a doc stating that I should set my "Context path" but I don't have that entry in my server.xml. Not sure if this would have any effect or not...

I would bet it's a problem with your browser's cache. You may want to try with another file videooo.3gp ?
