Hello Tim
Saw your posting on the tomcat user's list.
I have a question about your response:
So how do you access the static resources, i.e.,
images, from the other two web apps?
This is what I tried and it does not work:
I created a separate webapp context with images,
and placed into tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost
a <Context...> element that looks like this:
<Context path="/img"
docBase="img"
debug="0"
reloadable="true"
allowLinking="true" />
</Context>
and in webapps/img I
ln -s /usr/scratch/images images
to create the symlink. So far, so good
Then, for the web app which needed the images,
I created this <Context...> element:
<Context path="/getimg"
docBase="getimg"
debug="0"
reloadable="true"
crossContext="true">
</Context>
Then from one of the servlets in getimg, I tried to
try {
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
getServletContext().getContext("/img").getRequestDispatcher("/images"+request.getPathInfo());
dispatcher.include(request, response);
} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
and to invoke as getimg/ImageServlet/subPath...
but nothing happened, and in fact, the
getServletContext().getContext("/img") returned null.
Note that the thusly constructed path to the image is
in fact correct. This was not an issue of Not Found.
Thanks
