So I looked into it some more and noticed the <error-page> definitions
depend on a sym-linked dir in each webapp doc root and those are not being
followed either.
So it seems that this host definition:
<Host name="site1.company.com" debug="0" appBase="/www/site1/webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<!-- activate JK for this host -->
<Listener className="org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.ApacheConfig"
append="true"
forwardAll="false"
modJk="/usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so" />
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn"
debug="0"/>
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
<DefaultContext>
<!-- set up virtual host variable -->
<Parameter name="siteRole" value="site1"/>
<!-- Allow Tomcat to follow sym-links -->
<Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true"/>
</DefaultContext>
<!-- set up document context to secure static files served by
Tomcat -->
<Context path="" docBase="/www/site1">
<Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true"/>
</Context>
</Host>
does not include setting allowLinking for the apps within it. How do I do
allowLinking without having to explicitly define every app context in the
server.xml (thus defeating the purpose of deployment descriptors)?
