Couple of things:
- In your alternate docroot specification, change
from=*media*
to
from=/media/*
"from" must be a valid url-pattern, as defined by the servlet spec.
- Notice that the resource path is computed by *appending* the request's
path info (as obtained by calling HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo())
to the alternate docroot.
Therefore, this request:
http://<server>:<port>/media/image.gif
would try to look up this resource:
/media/media/image.gif
based on your alternate docroot configuration.
Please let me know if you are still facing any issues after making the
above changes.
