CrossContext. Is there a easier solution?
As I can see, and for what I've tried to acomplish, this CrossContext thing is no picnic. It isn't easy to apply or use. Isn't there a easier of doing this? For instance, if I have a webserver and I want all the webapps to look in only one dir for images... how would I do that? .:| Christian J.

Re: CrossContext. Is there a easier solution?
For instance, if I have a webserver and I want all the webapps to look in only one dir for images... how would I do that? Actually, in this case at least, it should not matter. The browser downloads the html page, and then sends subsequent requests back to the server for images. You could even put all your images in one context and have all your other contexts use that for images. There is no connection (usually) between the request sent for the page and the requests sent for each of the images. The only difference would be if you need to control access to these images, which it doesn't sound like you need to do. I would just set up one context for images. Turn off cookies and such for this context, so there's absolutely no possibility of collision in terms of session ID's, etc. (I don't know if tomcat would send a cookie for a static request anyhow...).

Christian, If you're on a Un*x platform why not just create sym. links? Regards, James Williamson www.nameonthe.net Christian J.

AW: CrossContext. Is there a easier solution?
There are serveral options: - Define a context with the name images and use something like /images/common/img1.gif to reference them from the other contexts. - The dirty solution for linux: mkdir -p /webcommon/images ln -s /webcommon/images /webapp1/images ln -s /webcommon/images /webapp2/images ln -s /webcommon/images /webappn/images The first options make sense if you use tomcat stand alone, or want to use tomcats authorisation to access the images. Normally you wouldn't want to serve images from tomcat if you run behind a 'real' webserver.) - If you run tomcat behind a webserver you can solve that by using the same document root for all web applications. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Christian J.
