error when symbolic link to web.xml

["Mark W. Webb" <ma...@dolphtech.com>]

I get the following error in my context log file when I set up web.xml as a symbolic link in Solaris 9 :

2003-04-17 14:19:29 ContextConfig[/iwc]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only



does tomcat not like symbolic links of web.xml ??

in the newer tomcat versions symbolic links are disapled for security 
reasons.
but you can explicit allow symbolic links. you just have to edit server.xml.
see docs for more information.
