Symlink access error

[SomchaiDion]

Dear sir,
I am using Tomcat 4.1.3-LE-jdk1.4 with JSDK 1.4.0_01 on Linux(Mandrake
8.1). I want to add my data on CD-ROM into my homepage. So, I set my user
homepage(~lsomchai) by using  tag in server.xml file as follow.



In my homepage directory, there is the Test subdirectory and the TestSymlink
inside it. The TestSymlink is link to /mnt/cdrom directory.

if I access to ~lsomchai/Test, the homepage will list TestSymlink with
nothing at "Size" column and null at "Last Modified" column.
then, I access into TestSymlink. It show this message.
=
HTTP Status 404 - /%7Elsomchai/Test/TestSymlink/


type Status report
message /%7Elsomchai/Test/TestSymlink/
description The requested resource (/%7Elsomchai/Test/TestSymlink/) is not
available.


Apache Tomcat/4.1.3-LE-jdk14

Please help me. How can I set my tomcat to access CD-ROM?

Thanks,
Somchai

[SomchaiDion]

Dear sir,
I am using tomcat 4.1.3-LE-jdk14 with JSDK 1.4.0 on my Linux(Mandrake
8.1). I cannot access my homepage with has a symlink.  I post this problem
to tomcat-dev and got the answer below that it is a side-effect of security
problem. However, may be someone has any trick to solve this problem. Please
let me know.

Thank you,

Login prompt twice

[SomchaiDion]

Hi, can anybody help me.
I try to config my tomcat to serve my homepage and protect some data by
using security-constrain. The data file is a MS-Word document. When anyone
access the data directory, it will ask username&password. That is ok. But,
when click at a link to document file, it ask username&password again. I
don't know, why? I am using Tomcat 4.1.3LE with JSDK 1.4.0 on Linux 2.4.18.
My WEB-INF/web.xml file as follow:




http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
