hi.
i have a problem and need some assistance.
i want to map an external directory to a tomcat wepapp(virtual directory).
i can achieve this in many ways.
1- adding another context, and setting docbase to my external
directory(in server.xml)
2- adding a subcontext to
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/mainApp#mysubContext.xml
3- implementing a filter, checking url, if find mysubContext in the url,
reading appropriate resource
as a InputStream, and sending read bytes to servlet
outputstream.(buffering is included)
4- moving external directory to under main app. But this is impossible.
Because external directory content
size too large. and found on an external disk.
i am currently using the third one. but it is a bit slow and i dont want
to use a filter
for such a task.
i am trying to add subcontext(second one). But here the problem is, my
filters/servlets
in main app's deployment descriptor, not called on external directory urls.
example :
* myapp name is tw. and its jar(tw.jar) is under $CATALINA_BASE/wepapps
directory.(auto deployment)
* $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/tw#repo.xml includes
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="/somedir/someotherdir/" >
</Context>
*$CATALINA_BASE/wepapps/tw/WEB-INF/web.xml includes
...
<filter>
<display-name>TestFilter</display-name>
<filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>tw.filter.TestFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
...
when i request the /tw/newspaper.gif, filter works. that is good.
but when i request the /tw/repo/clip.gif filter not works.
how can i achieve this?
thanks for any help.
yavuz.
