title: network drive path for images in Tomcat
body: <p>In tomcat 7 I have set the context#image.xml in tomcat/catalina/localhost folder as following</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Context path="/image" docBase="C:\application\images" crossContext="true"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now this works fine as I'm able to see the images in the browser.</p>
  
  <p>But what if I want the images to be displayed in the browser through tomcat from a windows network drive. say the path is \net1\applications\images ? if it possible?</p>
  
  <p>I tried providing the the above mentioned network path in context.xml... but the image is not displayed. it's throwing error. What am I doing wrong? or is it even possible ?</p>
