starksm64 Apr 9, 2004 10:11 AM (in response to dan2000)By adding a Context entry to the jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml descriptor:

6. Re: Is Virtual Directory mapping supported in JBoss?
christinaku Dec 20, 2004 12:50 AM (in response to dan2000)Hi there,
i am also trying to create a virtual directory for the purpose of integrating jboss with Report Application Server (RAS). However, when i try the code given in the forum, it doesn't work... i am using jboss 3.2.5 and tomcat 5.0.
Is there any difference with the code given in the forum with different versions? and wat should i include in the ... field? i guess there must be some other codes that i need to add by myself base on the version that i am using isn't it?
thanx =)

prasadmp Dec 20, 2004 6:49 PM (in response to dan2000)I made the following changes. Not all of them may be required. You can try one at a time.
1. jboss/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml<server> <!-- Load all jars from the JBOSS_DIST/server/<config>/lib directory. This can be restricted to specific jars by specifying them in the archives attribute. --> <classpath codebase="lib" archives="*"/> <!-- Set the virtual directory to be used by the application Ref: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=48300 --> <attribute name="Config"> <Server> <Service name="JBoss-Tomcat"> <Engine name="MainEngine" defaultHost="localhost"> <Host name="localhost"> <!-- Default context parameters --> <DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true"/> <!-- Add a static context /Storage using directory /tmp/images --> <Context docBase="C:/images" appBase="/cmpe275" path="/images"/> </Host> </Engine> </Service> </Server> </attribute> <!-- Virtual directory setting - END -->
one more place<!-- ==================================================================== --> <!-- Deployment Scanning --> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <!-- An mbean for hot deployment/undeployment of archives. --> <mbean code="org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner" name="jboss.deployment:type=DeploymentScanner,flavor=URL"> <attribute name="URLs"> deploy/cmpe275, file:///C:/images/ </attribute>
2. jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml<server> <mbean code="org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.Tomcat5" name="jboss.web:service=WebServer"> <!-- Get the flag indicating if the normal Java2 parent first class loading model should be used over the servlet 2.3 web container first model. --> <attribute name="Java2ClassLoadingCompliance">true</attribute> <attribute name="LenientEjbLink">true</attribute> <!-- A flag indicating if the JBoss Loader should be used. This loader uses a unified class loader as the class loader rather than the tomcat specific class loader. --> <!-- Set the virtual directory to be used by the application Ref: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=48300 --> <attribute name="Config"> <Server> <Service name="JBoss-Tomcat"> <Engine name="MainEngine" defaultHost="localhost"> <Host name="localhost"> <!-- Default context parameters --> <DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true"/> <!-- Add a static context /Storage using directory /tmp/images --> <Context docBase="C:/images" appBase="/cmpe275" path="/images"/> </Host> </Engine> </Service> </Server> </attribute> <!-- Virtual directory setting - END --> <attribute name="UseJBossWebLoader">true</attribute>
3. jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml<Host name="localhost" autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false" deployXML="false"> <!-- Default context parameters --> <DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true"/> <!-- Add a static context /Storage using directory /tmp/images --> <Context docBase="C:/images" path="/cmpe275/images"/>
4. copy web.xml to
jboss/server/default/conf
This has worked for me. Hope this helps you.
There has to be easier way to solve this.

8. Re: Is Virtual Directory mapping supported in JBoss?
christinaku Dec 20, 2004 8:09 PM (in response to dan2000)btw, if i successfully created the virtual directory, does it mean that if i go to http://localhost:8080/images, i will be able to see the content of the images folder on my web browser? i was hoping i could see something, but there isn't anything there except for http status 404..
and i have another question. i was hoping to create 2 virtual directories.. is it as simple as adding another line to another path?
thank you so much.. =) prasadmp
regards,

9. Re: Is Virtual Directory mapping supported in JBoss?
prasadmp Dec 21, 2004 12:36 PM (in response to dan2000)Yes, http://localhost:8080/images should show directory listing. Notice in my case above the web module is cmpe275. so When i do
http://localhost:8080/cmpe275/images
it lists all the files in c:\imgaes directory.

11. Re: Is Virtual Directory mapping supported in JBoss?
irajava Dec 23, 2004 8:41 AM (in response to dan2000)I tried the above suggested solution on JBoss 3.2.4 without success. I tried it also with 3.2.6 and after removing one of the steps in the above suggested solution it worked. I expected though this to be a one line configuration issue and not to put same/diferent elements in three different files.
Do not put the following in the file {$JBOSS_HOME}/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml file<attribute name="URLs"> deploy/cmpe275, file:///C:/images/ </attribute>

That is so true! I've tried the above examples but still nothing is working.
Surely this must be a common task but I cant seem to see an easy way to do it, not is it clearly documented. I certainly dont wont to promote microsoft but in IIS its so easy to add a virtual directory because its a common task so they make it easy.
if you do a google search for "vitual directory" site:docs.jboss.org it returns nothing.
Can someone PLEASE reply with the correct way to add a virtual directory - PLEASE! -
13. Re: Is Virtual Directory mapping supported in JBoss?
tvenegas Apr 29, 2005 5:56 PM (in response to dan2000)Hi,
I tried this case and it does very good, but it doesn't work when my server is Linux. In this case, in examples, I can't to use docBase="C:\Storage".
I have to try with docBase="/deploy/tmp", but it doesn't work.
In file jboss-service.xml of /server/all/conf I define attribute:
deploy/mbreporting2, /temporal.war/
It doesn't work. How I can to configurate this files for to use in Linux?.
Thank you. -
