[mojo-dev] [jira] (MRPM-113) softlinkSource silently does nothing when two or more links are present

Turns out the correct configuration looks like this:

<mapping>
              <directory>/usr/share/${tomcat.base}-${tomcat.instance}/conf</directory>
              <filemode>750</filemode>
              <username>root</username>
              <groupname>${tomcat.group}</groupname>
              <sources>
                <softlinkSource>
                  <location>/etc/${tomcat.base}-${tomcat.instance}</location>
                </softlinkSource>
              </sources>
            </mapping>
            <mapping>
              <directory>/usr/share/${tomcat.base}-${tomcat.instance}/lib</directory>
              <filemode>750</filemode>
              <username>root</username>
              <groupname>${tomcat.group}</groupname>
              <sources>
                <softlinkSource>
                  <location>/usr/share/java/${tomcat.base}</location>
                </softlinkSource>
              </sources>
            </mapping>


(Note the lack of "destination" parameter).



It is not clear at this point why symlinks that point at files should behave differently to symlinks pointing at directories. It seems that we should error out when destination is used with a directory, but we don't.



In addition, the documentation only shows a single example of softlinkSource in action, when ideally there should be two examples, one for directories, and another for files.
