Scenario:
OS: Windows Server 2003 SP1
App Server: GlassFish V2 RC4 Build 58
I'm trying to deploy a web application to the root context. The web application is deployed as a directory located on C:\AppDir.
We have a shared media directory located on a different server, and in the past have used a UNC path configured as a virtual web directory on Microsoft IIS 6.
We are trying to use the built-in GlassFish web server, and would also like to be able to do the same thing.
I have taken a look at the blog by Jan Luehe on configuring an alternate docroot, but so far that has not worked, even if I tried setting the alternate to just another local directory.
Is there something that I am doing wrong. Here is what I have in the sun-web.xml file.
[i]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<sun-web-app>
<context-root>/</context-root>
<property name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=*media* dir=/media"/>
</sun-web-app>[/i]
I am anticipating that this should produce the following results:
http://<server>:<port>/media/image.gif --> c:\media\image.gif or better yet \\<server2>\media\image.gif (UNC path).
Any help will be appreciated.
