Hello;

To serve images and CSS files through tomcat, you can put your images and files in the ROOT webapp under the WEBAPPS directory, I place my images in a directory named images. If you are using the JK connector you put them on your webserver in the root directory and images directory .

I have been told that you should not use tomcat to serve static files, as this is not what it is designed for. It works fine for me in a test environment, in production I use JK and place static files in the IIS wwwroot directory.

Thanks,

don

I like the way to deploy (low traffic) WO apps as SSDD and serving static resources from the extracted WAR thru tomcat. Now the path which is passed to handleRequest is not validated against e.g. WEBINFROOT. This means it is possible to request any file from the server that is world readable.

Currently I use the ERXStaticResourceRequestHandler which doesn't do these checks. Is there perhaps already a solution out there or does it make more sense to write my own (or on base on the Wonder stuff)?

It seems that not so many deplay WO as a servlet, but I think it is more complient to get into the J2EE world ;-) And it works really great!
