Another reason for needing some way to have the images outside the webapp:
If our webapp allows users to upload images and then view them from our site - we certainly don't wanna war these files - it would be nice to not have to have a separate webserver to serve these images.

This makes it difficult for designers. I like to have an external area where designers can just throw in images on the dev server without having to package them up. There must be someway to create a virtual directory.

When you deploy a webapp (.war) or as a part of a .ear, it should not depend on something in the filesystem outside the package. Could you not just include the images in the .war? _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
