Hi,

u have to modify sun-web.xml of the app. In that file u simply add a
property inside the sun-web-app tag like this:

<property name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/virdir/* dir=/srv/web/" />

One point is that u need to have the "virdir" directory created in /srv/web.
Hope it helps u.


Cheers.
