Several paths with the virtual-directory-mapping in weblogic.xml

Question

Hello! I don´t know if this is well posted here. Sorry, and my english is aswful :(.
I´m trying to put several paths for jsp files in an application, similar to how the extendend document root works in websphere.
How can I get this on weblogic? With this lines I only managed to get the first but the second url-pattern doesn´t work.
<weblogic-web-app>
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>/path1/</local-path>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>/path2</local-path>
<url-pattern>/jsp/*.jsp</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
</weblogic-web-app>
My intention is make that the app could access to jsp´s files in path1 and in path2. Is this possible on weblogic?
Thanks in advance

I see. In my case, x == images, so if I reverse my directory
structure I could still get this to work for me. For instance:
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:\webapps\context\y</local-path>
<url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
/images/z.gif would map to C:\webapps\context\y\images\z.gif.
I'll have to weigh changing our directory structure vs. keeping the
servlet we have that rewrites the URL.
Thanks for your help.

From the developer
Virtual directories just replace the doc root. The doc root in your case
is C:\webapps\context\x\y. The request uri is /images/Z.gif. So the whole
thing resolves to C:\webapps\context\x\y\images\Z.gif. Which is where the
image should be located.
We have cleared up the docs. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi. I noticed in WebLogic Platform 7.0 there is a entry for
WEB-INF/weblogic.xml that defines a virtual directory. Example:
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web
Application 7.0//EN"
"http://www.bea.com/servers/wls700/dtd/weblogic700-web-jar.dtd">
<weblogic-web-app>
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:\webapps\context\x\y</local-path>
<url-pattern>/images/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
</weblogic-web-app>
In this case I'm assuming that a request of the form
http:/host:7001/context/images/z.gif would map to the physical file
C:\webapps\context\x\y\z.gif. However I cannot get this to work. Is
my assumption about it's use incorrect? Is the syntax of
<local-path/> or <url-pattern/> wrong? Is there something you have to
do to get WebLogic to recognize the weblogin.xml file?
This is urgent. Please help.
Thanks.
