Have you considered using Ant to build and deploy your applications?

Subject: problem with Classloader and symbolic links in 4.1.12
Here is a scenario.
I created a reloadable webapp in my tomcat installation, created the
directory structure:
webapps/test/WEB-INF/lib
webapps/test/WEB-INF/classes
I then create a symlink from classes to where my code package resides:
ln -s $HOME/source/testPackage webapps/test/WEB-INF/classes
in $HOME/source/testPackage resides a java file TestServlet.java and its
compiled version TestServlet.class
TestServlet.java is a servlet class in the testPackage package
Tomcat runs as my user, its installed in my home directory, my
catalina.policy has:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
When i try to load the servlet, i get the following exception:
Wrapper cannot find servlet class testPackage.TestServlet or a class it
depends on
I do the following:
cd webapps/test/WEB-INF/classes
rm -f testPackage (remove the link)
cp -r $HOME/source/testPackage .
restart tomcat,
go to the URL of the servlet, and it works fine.
Why does it not work with the symbolic link? Is there an option i can
give somewhere to tomcat's classloader to follow symbolic links?
it would make my life so much easier since I am trying to develop an app
with thousands of classes and hundreds of packages, modifying my build
system to send all the classes to the tomcat dir would be a hassle.
Thanks,
Eugene
