WL Server 6.1 - Virtual Directory

Question

We are using WL Server 6.1 on Win2k. We want to set up a virtual directory
          for our web application.
          For example: we want to store images in the directory c:/siteimages. In the
          JSP's, we should be able to call <img src"/images/image.gif">. The "images"
          directory will be virtually mapped to the c:/siteimages directory. These
          images cannot be part of a 'war' file because they are created dynamically.
          Is this possible?
          Platform: BEA Weblogic Server 6.1 on WIN2K
          Thank you

Answer 1

I suggest that you create a simple webapp called images.war that has a
          web.xml descriptor that has entries like:
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>images</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.FileServlet</servlet-class>
          <init-param>
          <param-name>docHome</param-name>
          <param-value>c:\siteimages</param-value>
          </init-param>
          </servlet>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>images</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.jpg</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-mapping>
          <servlet-name>images</servlet-name>
          <url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern>
          </servlet-mapping>
