Hi Georg, Thanks for your reply. Sorry if I appear a little naïve with regards to my terminology. I have mainly only had to mess around with IIS's GUI and its terminology :)
However, you are right. All I need to be able to do is to map a specific URL path to a local directory. I think your example will work fine. Armed with this new info, I think I should be able to achieve what I want without using a front end web server and connector. I will go and play and see what I can discover :) Thanks again.

What do you mean exactly by "virtual directories"? If it is something like mapping URL paths to file system paths, then you can achieve something with Tomcat's <Context path="/urlPath" docBase="C:/web/files/a" ... > element in server.xml, which maps the virtual (URL) 'path' to the physical docBase directory. Note that 'path' is not limited to one directory part, ie /urlPath/plus/more is also possible. Furthermore, inside the web.xml deployment descriptors you can specify which servlet/JSP is invoked for a certain URL pattern. See <servlet-mapping> element.
