Symbolic Links tomcat 4.1.27

["McClure, Timothy J(GE Infrastructure)" <Ti...@ge.com>]

I am have trouble getting symbolic links to work with Tomcat 4.1.27.  I have a symbolic link defined for my webapp and I am allow linking for it in the server.xml.  However when I do a resource lookup in my application for class directory it now fails.  I also notice that a local host log file indicating all the jars to deployment is not longer created when I start Tomcat.  Any help to this problem will be greatly appreciated.  The customer I am doing this for as a rule that applications cannot be installed under /var.

I've done a similar setup (for what I understand) and have never ran 
into trouble and dont have to touch server.xml at all.

I just do a /'ln -s/ ' to whatever filesystem or dir my webapps will 
reside and presto! the link's name is webapps of course. I just copy the 
manager, admin, ROOT and whatever other tomcat directories I have and 
everything runs well. Done it with 4.127, 4.131 and 5.5.x on Solaris and 
Red Hat.

If you give more details about what you are trying to do I may be able 
to help.

Regards,

Luis
