How to get Jetty in Karaf to serve static content from file system?

Question

I need to serve static content from outside a bundle in Karaf. Since it already has Pax Web and Jetty built in, I've thought it wouldn't be a problem, but no success so far :(

I have jetty, http, http-whiteboard and war features installed. Following http://team.ops4j.org/wiki/display/paxweb/Advanced+Jetty+Configuration, I've added this to etc/jetty.xml:

<Get name="handler">
    <Call name="addHandler">
        <Arg>
            <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler">
                <Set name="contextPath">/app</Set>
                <Set name="resourceBase">/home/aromanov/workspaces/odp-server/ru.focusmedia.odp.server.poim.resources-rodniki/
                </Set>
                <Call name="addServlet">
                    <Arg>org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet</Arg>
                    <Arg>/</Arg>
                </Call>
            </New>
        </Arg>
    </Call>
</Get>

And created the file org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg with this content:

org.ops4j.pax.web.config.file=/home/aromanov/workspaces/odp-server/ru.focusmedia.odp.server.karaf.launcher/etc/jetty.xml

In the log I see

2012-06-02 12:03:52,800 | INFO  | g.ops4j.pax.web) | Server                           |  -  -  | jetty-7.5.4.v20111024

But the files aren't visible. E.g., I have a file /home/aromanov/workspaces/odp-server/ru.focusmedia.odp.server.poim.resources-rodniki/.style, but going to either http://192.168.1.9:8080/app/.style or http://192.168.1.9:8282/app/.style gives 404 error.

A bit late, perhaps, but..

Doing the same thing worked well for me, i.e. i copied the code snippet from http://team.ops4j.org/wiki/display/paxweb/Advanced+Jetty+Configuration and changed the two paths. I restarted karaf and my files were served.

Are you running karaf as a user that has access to /home/aromanov?
