external docroot with jetty-web.xml?

Hi,

  I’m trying to figure out how to configure jetty with a document root outside of my web application.  The app is basically a file manager and needs to browse and upload images on the filesystem.  I’m new to Jetty and Geronimo but thought I’d figured out the correct solution. I added a jetty-web.xml file to my war:

 

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure 1.2//EN" "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure_1_2.dtd">

<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.WebApplicationContext">

  <Call name="getHttpServer">

              <Call name="addContext">

                          <Arg>

                                      <New class="org.mortbay.http.HttpContext">

                                                  <Set name="setContextPath">/appImages</Set>

                                                  <Set name="setResourceBase">/appImages</Set>

                                                  <Set name="addHandler">

                                                              <New class="org.mortbay.http.handler.ResourceHandler"/>

                                                  </Set>

                                      </New>

                          </Arg>  

              </Call>

   </Call>

</Configure>

 

I expected this would map the context path: /appImages to the filsystem location /appImages. 

 

As far as I can tell my server doesn’t even read jetty-web.xml.  I wouldn’t be surprised if my syntax is wrong but I can’t even figure out where to begin debugging, nothing seems to be getting logged.

 

Any suggestions about how to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated.  Is my approach correct? If so, how would I start debugging this?

 

Thanks in advance,

-Luke
