Mapping static files using WebSphere App Server
Hi,
Is there any way where I can use WebSphere Application server as webserver like in Weblogic.
I have few aliases which points to different directories like below:
Alias /ab_image/ "/opt/Resource/images/"
the above way i map it in IHS and it works fine. but I want to know without the IHS how I will be able to achieve the same. Like in weblogic I can do it directly without any webserver.

I not that bothered of having security concerns.
As this is my local development WAS instance i just want to know the configurations to make it work. I mean my aliases will work.
Alias /ab_image/ "/opt/Resource/images/"
If anything can be done to make it available then it will be great help for me.

So where shall i put this custom property and how.
For my instance I need alia like below
Alias /ab_image/ "/opt/Resource/images/"
so when I access http://WAS_HOST_NAME:9080/ab_image/logo.gif
it should go to the images directory and show the logo.
btw thanks a lot for the pointer.

The "HTTP" server that exists in the WebSphere Application Server product is a thin implementation of an HTTP server. It is not intended to be used as a front end HTTP server.
Doing so would expose your Application Server to the Wild Wild West (aka World Wide Web).
Your Application Server should be behind (at least) 2 firewalls, and your web server (i.e., HTTP server) should be in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) behind (at least) 1 firewall, and with (at least) 1 firewall between it, and the Application Server.
The IBM HTTP Server (IHS) and the websphere plugin work together to provide a great deal of function that does not exist in the WebSphere Application Server (thin) HTTP layer.
