Symlinked subdirectories of webapps

2005-04-17 Thread Nick Johnson
Hello,

(with respect to tomcat 5.0.28)

I have a bunch of JSP files which work hapily when located in a
subdirectory of webapps/ROOT.  However, whenever I want to move that
directory, and then leave a symlink to that directory in webapps/ROOT,
it all falls apart.

I searched around, and the closest think I can find is the
allowLinking=true flag.  but, I cannot figure out where to put
this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Nick Johnson

As in, a symlink inside the webapp?  I wouldn't rely on this... it's not
supported by the spec (likely because it's not cross-platform), and
allowLinking is just a Tomcat convenience feature.

It's an attr, I think for Context/.  Scan the online docs for
allowLinking and it should turn up.
