2. Re: Symbolic links in jboss eap 7.0
We are using JDK 8, JBoss EAP 7.0 on Windows 7 platform, We deployed war in exploded mode and created symbolic links to html, styles, images and scripts folders in order to check the changes instantly without redeploy , this is required only for development, symlinks created using mklink are working jboss eap 6.4 but they stopped working from 7 and giving 404 on all those web content once application is loaded. tried setting the symbolic-linking-enabled as true in jboss-web.xml but didnt work. Even used file handlers in standalone.xml but no luck on this.

If you want to update jsp/html pages at runtime then you can enable 'development' mode from undertow subsystem. You can use below CLI command for same:
~~
/subsystem=undertow/servlet-container=default/setting=jsp:write-attribute(name=development,value=true)

4. Re: Symbolic links in jboss eap 7.0
I would not do what you are doing with symbolic links but rather with overriding the paths of static content in undertow subsystem.
in undertow subsystem configure file-handler for each directory you want to override
than under <host> map that handler to the path.
And do that for all folders you want to serve "staticly"
so for example to override /images directory do something like this
<server name="default-server">
<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http"/>..
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<location name="/images" handler="images"/>
</host>..
</server>
<handlers>
<file name="welcome-content" path="${jboss.home.dir}/welcome-content" directory-listing="true"/>
<file name="images" path="/path/to/my/images" directory-listing="true"/>
</handlers>
