==========
I dont know if this will help... it seems the main problem is that its
deployed as a War..
Its not quite the same as Resin, but I'm almost certain Tomcat can deploy
something
called a localwar... because if one thinks about it, thats what the IDE's
are doing.
So you can place your unpacked War "anywhere" on the machine... and just
tell tomcat to use it.
Everything is outside tomcat and if you change Jsp's they in the open then
just have to use the deployment
manager to deploy again... it just means you have to FTP the files up or
install them to begin with
but this I think is what you looking for anyway..
Just look that up in the TC deployment manager stuff...
==========
Here is an example ant script for the deployment manager
I found some script lying around.....
<target name="deploy" description="Deploy web application">
<deploy url="http://localhost:8080/manager"; username="admin" password=""
localWar="/ThePath/To/The/Unpacked/War"
path="/The/Url/Context"
update="true"
/>
</target>
In theory you can also deploy from the browser like this
http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?localWar=Yada&path=Blah&update=true
So... its all outside... you got to get it there... and then you can tell TC
to use it...
Have fun...
================
The policy of our company is to deploy the jsp's separated from the
war file, to allow a finer grained control over deployment. I'm not
very fan of it, but it's something I won't be able to change. So I
need a way to point the following URL's to another place in the file
system.
http://server/[context]/jsp/*
http://server/[context]/css/*
http://server/[context]/html/*
http://server/[context]/images/*
Thanks

Once the .war is expanded why would you want to map to JSPs outside of
