I can't get this to work. I have the following directory
structure:
/opt/jakarta/webapps/siteexplorer
Under siteexplorer, I have a symbolic lin named htmldoc. I can
follow the links manually and everything works.
Here is how the context is defined in the server.xml:
<Context docBase="./siteexplorer" priveleged="false"
path="/siteexplorer" >
<Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true" caseSensitive="false" />
</Context>
I am running tomcat 4.1.12 on Linux. I get no messages and I am
NOT starting tomcat with -security. I even made the following
change to catalina.policy:
grant codeBase
"file:${catalina.home}/webapps/siteexplorer/htmldoc/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
Does anybody have any clue?
