I prefer to structure my application in a way that makes simple things like bringing in images somewhat difficult. So I resolve that issue using the Apache Alias option. I put a line in the conf file something like:

Alias /image d:/project/images

And in the html I can then use

<img src="/image/myimage.gif" />

And the images all load regardless of the configuration of the parent URL.

How do I configure the web container of JBoss/Tomcat to manage this?

I’ve been doing some looking around but haven’t been able to find anything. Google is a fine thing, but it will overwhelm you sometimes!!!

If you run apache and JBoss on the same machine, apache on port 80 and jboss on port 8080 (or Tomcat), wouldn’t your simple img src= reference be handled by Apache, in which case your alias would work?
