Wrap the default servlet but override the default webapp path

Question

I have a folder of static html,imgs,flash content that lives outside of the webapp folder. Right now I\'m using a symbolic link to map that folder into my webapp directory.

Answer 1

I have open-sourced a custom servlet that serves files from an arbitrary base path. Additionally, it supports file browsing inside nested compressed archives.
