I am having a problem getting symlinking to work in JBoss 3.2.6. I have tried setting the allowLinks attribute in my default context but this does nothing. If I set up a context for the application it does not have access to the JBoss class loader and this is not what I want.

Below is my setup in the default context in the server.xml file.

<Host name="MYWEB" autoDeploy="false"
 deployOnStartup="false" deployXML="false">
 <Alias>www.myweb.com</Alias>

 <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
 prefix="MW" suffix=".log" pattern="common"
 directory="${jboss.server.home.dir}/log"/>


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

Every thing else works fine.

I tried creating a virtual path by creating a context directly to the physical location but this also faild. Is symlinking from exploded wars not possible?

Thanks in advance!
