I am new to Red5. From my Red5 webapp I need to provide static content (in external directory) as a resource. In red5-web.xml,
<mvc:resources mapping="/videos/**" location="file:/user/recordings/" />
I spent lot of time but could not figure out why its not working (getting 404). Any suggestions will be very helpful. Thank you.
Since Red5 uses embedded Tomcat for its Java EE container, you should be able to externally link resources via their configuration. In addition, there should be no restrictions that I know of when using Spring MVC (if that's what you're using). Here are some links for you to review:
