Chris,
the user accesses my jsps via http://host/my-app.
The jsps include references of the form below, as request dumper valve
tells me:
/myapp-web/styles/images/mylogo.jsp
where myapp-web is a directory elsewhere on the system.
so the full path reference style is never done as such.

Within the app's jsps are references to files in a folder 'myapp-web'
whose real location on the server file system
is outside the tomcat tree.
So, the URLs for these resources are something like
http://host/myapp-web/path/to/file? Are they all rooted in the same
place?
If so, you can basically create a dummy webapp that contains nothing
but
your files, served out of the location of your choice.
Create a file under CATALINA_BASE/conf/[service]/[host]/myapp-web.xml
that contains the following:
<Context appBase="/library/webserver/documents" />
This will deploy a new web application (into /myapp-web) that serves
static documents from /library/webserver/documents. This is the
equivalent of Apache httpd's:
Alias /myapp-web /library/webserver/documents
It probably seems a little heavy-handed, but it's because app servers
are app-centric, not file/directory centric.
Hope that helps,
