Reading from FileSystem [message #121231]

How do I register an external location of file in Equinox registry using
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources
The following registers the location within a bundle
<extension point="org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.resources">
<resource
alias="/img"
base-name="/resources/icons"/>
</extension>

But I need to reference external files. How can it be accomplished.
My files are in "D:\home\abcd\customer\data\images"

Thanks,
Walter.

There is no built in support for reading external resources however one of
things you can do is have your resource referene an httpcontextid. The next
step is to define an httpcontext extension and write your own custom
HttpContext class that does the lookup you want.
