Symbolic Links within a Web Application on JBoss 3.2.5 with

[rcostanzo]

Does anybody know how to get the bundled Tomcat in JBoss 3.2.5 to follow symbolic links? I was previously using JBoss 3.2.2 with Jetty and had my JSPs linked to from within the WAR. Now that I'm upgrading, I can't find anywhere how to make Tomcat follow these links. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Found the answer to my own question...

in deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml near the end of the file there is a default context tag:

<DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true" />

Add the attribute allowLinking="true" to this, like:

<DefaultContext cookies="true" crossContext="true" override="true" allowLinking="true" />

And then it follow symlinks no problem.
