My Lift project is in a git repository and to the repository I've
added a submodule. Since right now I only want one javascript file
from this submodule, my thought was to make the directory src/main/
webroot/js and then make a symbolic link to the javascript file in
question. Unfortunately, when I try to request the file at
http://localhost:9090/js/jquery.sparkline.js, I get a 403 response
that says the page is not defined in my sitemap. There was no note of
the request in the stdout.
Thinking that the js subdirectory is the problem, I then tried making
the symlink in the webroot directory and got a 404 error. On stdout it
said:
2009-08-13 18:38:23.051::WARN: Aliased resource: file:/Users/peter/
Sites/Equal%20Networks/server/src/main/webapp/
jquery.sparkline.js==file:/Users/peter/Sites/Equal%20Networks/server/
vendors/dashboard/www/jquery.sparkline.js
>From this I gather than Lift is troubled by the presence of a symlink
and refused to acknowledge its presence. Is this true? If so, why?
>From the thread last week on ExtJS I see a discussion on loading files
in webroot, including supporting a css directory by adding the
following to Boot.scala:
ResourceServer.allow {
case "css" :: _ => true
}
I already have a css file being served from a directory in the exact
same location without any additions to Boot.scala. Nonetheless, I
tried the following:
ResourceServer.allow {
case "js" :: _ => true
}
Unfortunately, this had no effect. So, how can I get my symlinked
javascript to be server? Or should I just give up on symlinks
altogether (I'm not a git master, so perhaps that was the wrong
approach anyway).

PS I'm on 1.1-SNAPSHOT.
PPS The YUI Compressor works well. Very cool.
