Re: TC 4.1 + symbolic linking

[Tim Funk]

Tomcat by default doesn't like symbolic links. Its a security vulnerablility. 
To use sym links - you must tell tomcat to use them.

We have some HTML files that are on another machine.  A link was
created (htmldoc).
I then modified the server.xml by adding the following to the
context definition:
<Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
caseSensitive="false" allowLinking="true"/>
The context will not load (no errors).  I even added an entry in
the catalina.policy:
// The permissions granted to the context WEB-INF/classes
directory
grant codeBase
"file:${catalina.home}/webapps/siteexplorer/htmldoc/-" {
};
If I remove the allowLinking resource, the app starts correctly.
 Anyone have any ideas on what the problem is.
