Please have a look at ROMFS and RAMFS tests. You can build a static image of 
your web content (in ROMFS) and use it, in case you want some more files to be 
created during webserver run, make use of RAMFS.

you may also want to have a look at GoAhead webserver that has eCos port. they 
use their own webromfs (static image of web content). If you search goahead 
newsgroup you can find patch to make it use eCos's ROMFS instead. In case you 
don't manage it for some reasons, send me offlist mail.

In all the cases the ROMFS (or equivalent) content is part of executable that you create.


I hope I interpreted your question  correctly?
