[ACCEPTED]-Mapping a directory outside the web-app to URL in TOMCAT-jakarta-ee
Add a <Context> tag in server.xml, inside 2 the <Host> tag:
<Context path="/images" docBase="C:/test/images/" />
Docs will be accessible 1 at http://localhost:8080/images
in Tomcat8 you can also add PotsResources 1 to you META-INF/context.xml as follow :
<Context>
<Resources allowLinking="false">
<PostResources readOnly="false"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
base="path-to-your-local-folder"
webAppMount="/images"/>
</Resources>
...
</Context>
I had the same issue but found a solution.
If 10 you are using Eclipse and a Tomcat plugin 9 then please note that the Eclipse Tomcat 8 plugin creates a separate CATALINA_BASE under the Eclipse 7 workspace directory.
You can go to this location and 6 you will find server.xml.
Use that server.xml and it will work.
My 5 actual tomcat directory is:
C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.62x64\apache-tomcat-7.0.62\conf
and my Eclipse 4 Tomcat server uses:
C:\workspace\JSF\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\conf
Use the workspace path 3 and server.xml from this location.
Add this in server.xml inside 2 the host tag:
< Context docBase="D:/personal" path="/images" />
and it will work if D:/personal has 1.png, and 1 then the url http://localhost:8080/images/1.png will load the image.
