Hi Absolutely perfect, this works,thx
>> Yes, just set up a sub-context. Something like a file called: $CATALINA_BASE/Catalina/localhost/XYZAPPS#images.xml with content: <Context docBase="/root/images" /> Question: Can this configuration be done from within 'XYZAPPS/META-INF/context.xml' Specific to the application only with regards Karthik -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 8:35 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: external folder be mapped to Tomcat 'specific 'web application' > From: Karthik Nanjangude [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: external folder be mapped to Tomcat 'specific > 'web application' > > 1) My external folder which has *images* is on folder "e/STATICIMAGES" I presume there's a colon missing in the above, and all your forward slashes should really be back slashes.

Something like a file called: $CATALINA_BASE/Catalina/localhost/XYZAPPS#images.xml with content: <Context docBase="/root/images" /> For your specific environment, the file containing the <Context> element is: D:\TOMCAT5523\Catalina\localhost\XYZAPPS#STATICIMAGES.xml (assuming you insist on using upper case names; this is case-sensitive, even on Windows). The <Context> element within the above file looks like this: <Context docBase="E:/STATICIMAGES" /> (Yes, that is a forward slash in the above, even on Windows.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
