Does <DefaultContext allowLinking="true"/> modify the attribute to all applications deployed in tomcat or is it per application? In Geronimo, if we want to control it per application, we will need a new tomcat specific element in geronimo-web.xml (which means a schema change, and I prefer to do it before 2.1 goes out, provided RM approves). If it is ok to have one setting across all apps, we can take the easy route of using a system property (argh... I seem to have developed an affinity to system properties).
Please go ahead and create a JIRA so that we can get this done sooner or later. ++Vamsi On Jan 9, 2008 1:32 AM, Adam Ruggles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The affect of allowLinking is to allow the servlet to serve up paths that > are > associated with a symbolic link. > > An example would be if I had a images folder in the root of my web app. > The > images folder is really a symbolic link pointing to another folder on my > hard drive.
