[Jetty-support] Jetty 6: Serving Multiple Contexts in a single Web application

Hi all,

I have tried to search the Jetty 6 documentation for an answer to my
question, but have so far been unsuccessful.  I have a web app, lets call it
myApp.  It is stored under the webapps folder.  I want all requests to
http://server:8080/myApp to map to webapps/myApp.  However, I have some
static files in another location that I want to serve under the URL
http://server:8080/myApp/docs.  That is, I have some files in
c:\some\other\location, and I want requests to
http://server:8080/myApp/docsto map to this location.  For example, a
request for
http://server:8080/myApp/docs/fileX.pdf to map to
c:\some\other\location\fileX.pdf.

Is this doable within Jetty configuration (either jetty.xml or
webdefault.xml or web.xml or any other configuration file)?  If anyone could
provide me some guidance on this, I would be greatly appreciative.  I have
tried configuring ContextHandlers and ResourceHandlers to no avail (perhaps
I'm doing it wrong?).  The closest I've come to getting what I want is by
creating a jetty-web.xml file with the following:

<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
  <Set name="contextPath">/myApp</Set>
  <Set name="baseResource">
    <New class="org.mortbay.resource.ResourceCollection">
      <Arg>
        <Array type="java.lang.String">
      <Item>c:/location/docs</Item>
      <Item><SystemProperty name="jetty.home"
default="."/>/webapps/myApp</Item>
        </Array>
      </Arg>
    </New>
  </Set>
</Configure>

But this maps the contents of the doc folder and webapps/myApp to the
http://server:8080//myApp URL.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Ali
