It's not really difficult. Define a <Context> element for an additional webapp that targets the external directory via a docBase attribute, and place that <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[newAppName].xml; use something like "images" (without the quotes) for [newAppName]. Tomcat's DefaultServlet will happily retrieve and display images or other static content from there when referenced via http://[host]/[newAppName]/[file].[type]. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
