How to map directory not under "document root" directory?

Question

In Weblogic (5.1.0), how do you map one URL "directory" to a filesystem
directory that is not a subdirectory of the regular document root
directory?
This is, I want some URL "http://xxx.com/some/subset" to map to local
directory "/x/y" instead of mapping to a subdirectory "some/subset"
under the document root directory (the directory to which
"http://xxx.com/" maps).
How do you do this in Weblogic (using Weblogic as the HTTP server,
not using it plugged in to some other HTTP server)?
(In Apache, this would be the "Alias" directive.)
Thanks,
Daniel

Default registration for the file servlet is:
weblogic.httpd.register.file=weblogic.servlet.FileServlet
weblogic.httpd.initArgs.file=defaultFilename=index.html
So do this:
weblogic.httpd.register.some/subset=weblogic.servlet.FileServlet
weblogic.httpd.initArgs.some/subset=defaultFilename=index.html,docHome=d:
/foo/bar/baz
