title: Mapping a directory outside the web-app to URL in TOMCAT
body: <p>I need to map an directory containing images which resides outside tomcat webapps folder, so that application can serve those images.</p>
  
  <p>I am making a J2EE Web application running under tomcat 6. User can upload/delete images in the application. Currenly I store these images to a directory under application's WebContent folder, but I want to take it outside the tomcat (e.g. C:/test/images).</p>
  
  <p>I need to know how to I configure tomcat so that if I access URL http://.com/images/abc.jpg , it serves the image from directory C:/test/images </p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
