Question

I’m triing to host some files on my glassfish server.

i found this post explaining how to do this with virtual directories:
http://www.marceble.com/2009/07/virtual-directories-in-glassfish/

but this doesn’t work for me
when i surf to: localhost:8080/media/test.txt

i get: HTTP Status 404: The requested resource () is not available.

Better is this article.

For GlassFish 3.1.x now it is glassfish-web.xml file inside your application config. If you use something like this:

from=/media/* dir=C:/

or the same inside glassfish-web.xml file:

<property name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/media/* dir=C:/"/>

Be sure that you created direcotry on your computer: C:/media

“from” must match directory on your computer.

So then it will be available here:

http://{hostName}:{portNumber}/myapp/media/*
