tomcat webapps help

[Raviteja Veerla]

Hi,
I know that to create the root of a web application, we just have to make a
directory in the webapps folder of tomcat and then copy the files in to that
directory. but my situation is different, i have these folders which are to
be exposed as web applications else where and i need to somehow point to
these directories. is there anyway we can do that. may be its simple but im
struggling abit to get this straigtened out.
 thanks in advance
Ravi
