Alternate docroot not working on glassfish 4
glassfish, java-ee-7
Solution
You should use
<property description="Uploaded Images" name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/uploads/* dir=C:\Test\" />
and then drop your images into `C:\Test\uploads\`
or, for example, use
<property description="Uploaded Images" name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/uploads/* dir=C:\" />
and then drop your images into `C:\uploads\`
Problem
Im trying to set-up an alternate docroot in order to serve uploaded documents from. I have included the following in my glassfish web xml ``` <context-root>/dom</context-root> <property description="Uploaded Images" name="alternatedocroot_1" value="from=/uploads/* dir=C:/Test" /> ``` I have then stored a test pdf in the Test folder called cars.pdf. To access it i am typing the following into my browser ``` http://localhost:8080/uploads/cars.pdf ``` This however simply gives me a 404 error, ive tried googling and searching about here but nothing seems to work. Can some tell me what im doing wrong? Thanks Steve
