jboss not able to follow soft links

[garyxjones]

Sorry if this is a newbie question but I've seen several postings in regards to the allowLinking="true" in the server.xml file, but I'm still not able to get the soft links to work.

I'm adding the following line to the /usr/local/jboss/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/server.xml file. (Is this the correct location?)

<DefaultContext allowLinking="true" useNaming="true" override="true"/"
(This is in the <Host name="localhost" section of server.xml)


This is running on a Solaris 5.9 server.

Apperently, it doesn't work when you specify the allowLinking attribute to the default context. You need to define a seperate context for you application and specify it there. It should work just fine.

Even better, instead of creating a seperate context for your application, add the "allowLinking" attribute to the Context element in the context.xml file in the Tomcat directory.
