It is not necessary to synchronize the directories. Typically, most people use these mappings for Tomcat requests: "/*.jsp", and "/servlet/*". Requests for other content would never get to Tomcat. If you had output from a JSP or servlet that referenced a GIF file, it wouldn't matter. In your output stream, there would be something like
<img src="pic.gif"> The client browser will convert that into http://yourhost/pic.gif which is a valid URL, and does not match either of the Tomcat mappings.
