AVM Layered Directory

I am trying to use 'Create Layered Folder'  in the staging area of my very simple web project. I cannot get a Layered folder to point to another folder in the same web project also want to do the same thing for a file. I have read  about AVM supporting both file and directory layers but coulnt find sample implementation. The Alfresco version I am using is 2.2. All the help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Alfresco WCM 2.2 exposes "create layered folder" as an explicit UI option for sharing assets across web projects, although not within a web project.

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WCM_Release_Enhancements#Release_2.2.0

This calls the underlying AVM service to createLayeredDirectory, which is also used extensively by WCM to implement "sandboxes". The AVM service also supports the ability to createLayeredFile.

http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/service/cmr/avm/AVMService.html

If you're a developer and/or admin, then it is also possible to access AVM directly via the AVM console, however, I would strongly recommend that you keep a regular backup of your system, in case you inadvertently corrupt your AVM stores / web projects.
