Garbagnati (http://www.jguru.com/guru/viewbio.jsp?EID=32727) Question originally posed by Srinivas Muttineni (http://www.jguru.com/guru/viewbio.jsp?EID=445846 If by “web application” you mean the set of jsps, servlets, classes, and all the other required files, I’m afraid not. [Tomcat must be able to read the files from a locally mounted file system.] What you can do, though, is to have Tomcat running on one machine and the web server running on another, but I don’t think that you can have the files of the application be read through the net without some sort of file server mounting solution like ntfs, samba or similar. [See also the “rsync” utility under Unix for a nice way to publish your web application files to the live server.
