Since Windows 2003 doesn't support symlinks to network shares, you might
be able to use DFS. Though someone who knows DFS better than I might
know for certain.
Something like this where "L:" is your local drive:
L:\path\to\local\webapps\Root\applicationfiles
L:\path\to\local\webapps\Root\publications
-> \\DFS\network\target\publications
L:\path\to\local\webapps\Root\images
-> \\DFS\network\target\images

Hello
Our current configuration:
We are running tomcat 6.0.16 on windows 2003 enterprise.
We have a website which consists of an application part and a content part.
Both are in the same folder structure, eg.
webapps\Root\applicationfiles
webapps\Root\content\publications
webapps\Root\content\images
the application comes as a war file and the content is placed via another
process.
the folder structure is placed on a windows share.
Our current problem:
Whenever there is a problem with the share, the application crashes,
because tomcat can't find the application files anymore.
When the share comes back online, tomcat does not recover from the failure
and a restart is the only option.
Now I have the following questions:
I think separating the application from the content and placing the
application local to tomcat (basically on the same machine)
will solve the recovery issue.
I know placing everything local to the tomcat will be the best way and
gives the best performance, but at the moment that is not an option.
The questions
- Will placing the app local to the tomcat solve the recovery issue?
- Is there an easy way to seperate the app and the content, ie. some sort
of pathsetting ?
regards, Milko
