If I understood your original request correctly, you wanted to be able
to have multiple webapps share resources located in the virtual
server's docroot.
However, as soon as you declared one of the webapps to be the virtual
server's default web module, those resources were no longer
accessible, and I explained that this was the expected behaviour,
since a default web module "hides" the docroot of its virtual server.
In order to make it possible for multiple webapps to share resources
even in the case where one of them has been "promoted" to a default
web module, I suggested that you consider using alternate docroots,
but you would have to configure them at the webapp level (for each of
your webapps), because a virtual server's docroot and alternate
docroots will be ignored as soon as you have configured a default web
module (as you found out).
Alternate docroots for webapps may be configured inside sun-web.xml,
but you expressed some concern about hard-coding them inside a
deployment descriptor. Unfortunately, I don't see any way around this
at the moment. One possible enhancement we might consider is to
provide a default-sun-web.xml at the domain level (much like we do for
default-web.xml), whose configuration (including alternate docroots)
would be shared across all deployed webapps.
Thanks,
Jan
