用绝对路径加载json文件

Question

I have a java web app running on tomcat8 on my computer. In a jsp I have a js function loading json files from WebContent folder, but I want to load this file "/home/test/test.json".

I searched but don't find how to do it. How can I ?

Edit: I use this

$('#table').bootstrapTable({
    method : 'get',
    url : '/testing/list.json',
    cache : false,
    height : 500,
    striped : false,
    pagination : false,
    search : true,
    showColumns : false,
    columns : [ {
        field : 'key',
        title : 'Key',
        align : 'left',
        valign : 'midlle',
        sortable : true
    } ]
});

The easiest way to serve static content from another location is to register a new context with that docbase. Check the documentation but, for short, if you create the file $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/testing.xml with the content

<Context docBase="/home/test" />

then you will be able to request http://localhost:8080/testing/test.json .

The name of the xml file is used as the name of the context path. Also, you don't need to have any WEB-INF or web.xml because Tomcat's defaults are usually enough.
