RE: i can't acces absolute symbolic link created with ln -s comma nd on LINUX

["Liu, Xiaoyan" <xl...@CapitalThinking.com>]

Any ideas on this bug?

I posted exactly the same question before and got no
response. jsp:include seems not working with symlinked
directory.

It works on 4.0 version, but stops working on 4.1 version.
Is it a tomcat bug or coyote bug?

I thought [4.1.9] build with bug fix for #10949 will solve
the problem, but does not seem so.

Thanks.

A new Idea for resolving this problem ?

Thanks

I have reproduced this situation and have the same problem here

I have made a link to Tomcat examples directory. 
ln -s /path/to/tomcat/webapps/examples example
So with FollowSymLinks and Indexes options I see the direcory context, see 
static files, but as soon as I try to get jsp page I have the same 404 error
[GET /examples/jsp/snp/snoop.jsp HTTP/1.1" 404 687]
And the similar error with servlet examplesThe requested URL 
/examples/servlet/RequestParamExample was not found on this server.

Although I just have noticed that I use TC 4.0.4 where you seem don't have 
this issue

It really works fine with TC4.0.4, and everything works: linked directories, 
linked files, static and dinamic includes of linked files

With TC 4.1.9 it does not work but if I make top level linked directory in my 
webapps folder, that works fine assuming that this directory itself does not 
have symlinks inside of it
As soon as it gets symlinkes inside, those don't not work. For example, the 
context http://localhost:8080/german/, where german is a symbolic link to the 
directory /opt/tomcat4.0.4/webapps/german in the webapps folder of TC 4.1.9 
(/opt/tocmat4.1.9/webapps), shows next listing


Filename                         Size           Last Modified
   
AddNewWord.jsp                   0.2 kb         Fri, 23 Aug 2002 22:57:08 GMT
   
OracleDataSource.jsp             1.8 kb         Thu, 22 Aug 2002 05:53:38 GMT
   
admin/                                          null
   
include.jsp                      0.1 kb         Tue, 27 Aug 2002 06:19:25 GMT
   
link.html/                                      null
   
link.jsp/                                       null

Everywhere where there is null we have symbolic links: admin - folder, other 
files and they don't work. But usual jsp in the symlinked folder german works 
fine. Although include.jsp does not work (shows empty page) because it has 
inside only include statements for above mentioned symlinks

> Is it a tomcat bug or coyote bug?

Actually I tried a quick test, commented Coyote connector 
(org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector) with port 8080 and uncommented 
the HttpConnector(org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector), for the 
last one I changed port 8083 to 8080. Restart Tomcat, and nothing was 
changed. That all I did not go deeper
