RE: soft linked directories.
dont think this will work with 'war' files but I'll give it a go. thanks, detlef keep you informed. -Original Message- From: Tim Funk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 12:26 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: soft linked directories.

Howto : how to set context specific attributes when using 'war' files
Hi all, I need to a special treatment of symbolic links as mentioned within this mailinglist before. *** Context path=/myApp docBase=myApp debug=0 Resources className=org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext allowLinking=true / /Context *** This works fine when defining webApps within the server.xml file. I would like to drop a 'war' file in the webapps/ dir of the tomcat instance. But how do I then define this resource element ? Can I define it in the WEB-INF/web.xml file ? thanks for your help, detlef - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
