When using symbolic links the @WebServlet is not processed

[Violeta Georgieva]

Hi,

I have the following use case:

TomEE structure:

- TomEE root
...
  - webapps
    - myapp
      content -> /some/other/location/...

When the root of the app (in my case my app dir is not a symbolic link) then
the war path will point to the location under TomEE directory.

https://github.com/apache/tomee/blob/master/tomee/tomee-catalina/src/main/java/org/apache/tomee/catalina/Contexts.java#L62

Later when processing the @WebServlet the actual file path will point to
"/some/other/location/..." but the "info.name" will point to the location
under TomEE directory.

https://github.com/apache/tomee/blob/master/tomee/tomee-catalina/src/main/java/org/apache/catalina/startup/OpenEJBContextConfig.java#L569

If I change the symbolic link to the following:

- TomEE root
...
  - webapps
    - myapp -> /some/other/location
      content -> /some/other/location/...

Then everything is OK and the servlets are found.

I'm reproducing this with TomEE 7.0.2 and I do not reproduce this behavior
with TomEE 1.7.2

Is it something intentional?

Thanks in advance,
Violeta
