Thank you Mark for replying.

Could not do anything with the above statement. May be an example could suffice.
Somehow could see an example for PreResources in the internet and this is
how I did it without an TestApp#web.xml file in the Catalina/localhost folder.
<Context antiJARLocking="true"
path="/TestApp">
<Resources
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot">
<PreResources
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
base="C:\\dir"
internalPath="/"
webAppMount="/web" />
</Resources>
</Context>
This works fine with filters.
