That way you never have to worry about copying it there every
time. Has been working fine for us for the last 12 months, can
any one see any problems with this?
It's not a general deployment strategy because it doesn't work
under Windows or when the app and Web servers are different machines.
But when the app and Web servers are the same Unix machine, using
a symbolic link seems fine to me as long as you don't break the
link by relocating or renaming the app.
We only deploy on Macs – mainly to save our support guys all the
Windows headaches, so sym links are OK in that particular case.
I would recommend specifically linking WebServerResources.
Otherwise someone can just download your jar files and potentially
worse, your Properties files which might have passwords in them.
It is MUCH safer to create MyApp.woa/Contents and then symlink WSR
inside of it.
An excellent tip, I'll try that! If the whole woa file has a copy in
WebServer/Documents people would have access to the jars and
properties files anyway n'est pas?
