Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-3837:
-----------------------------------------------
This allowLinking attribute can be enabled on a per application basis. However
it would require a tomcat specific element in geronimo-web.xml. This would
mean a schema change (argh... that hurts) and requires modifications to
deployment code. We can provide enabling this attribute per server instance
for G 2.0.x and G 2.1.x Tomcat servers using a system property
org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.GeronimoStandardContext.allowLinking as it would
require minimal changes to code and won't come in the way of compatibility. If
there is a necessity to enable this attribute on a per application basis, then
we can introduce an allow-linking element in geronimo-web.xml from G 2.2 which
will override any default value set using the system property above.
Any comments? Suggestions? Any pit falls that I am not seeing?
