Share a folder in tomcat

Question

How can I enable a folder to be accessable using a browser with tomcat 6 ?

I think I need to add a context to web.xml ?

I'm trying - So when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/myfiles I expect to see the contents of c:\temp

Thanks

You need META-INF/context.xml, and there in the <Context> element set docBase to point to the desired directory.

See here the attributes to set in the Context element
