from Matt's Jboss example:
<Context docBase='/net/stuff/Storage' path='/Storage' />
I assumed he wanted to be able to map a *user-specified* context root
("/Storage") to a *user-specified* directory path ("/net/stuff/Storage")
and serve (static) resources from that directory.
The approach I recommended works, but as you pointed out, there are
certain requirements on the directory layout, otherwise you get the
"Cannot determine the Java EE module type for" error during deployment.
Those requirements can be addressed easily by creating a WEB-INF
subdirectory with a dummy web.xml (a web.xml that contains an empty
<web-app>). It would be nice if this step weren't required, though.
In contrast, when you rely on a virtual server's docroot, your static
resources must not be prefixed by any context root in order to be mapped
to the virtual server's docroot, and they must be placed inside the
virtual server's docroot, which users generally don't have access to.
