sym link problems with tomcat 4.1

[Dan Lipofsky <da...@nuserve.com>]

I have a symbolic link from webapps/nuserve/images to a directory
outside of the tomcat directory tree.  This worked fine under
tomcat 3.2.4 but I can't see my images under tomcat 4.1.10.
Does anyone know why this is, and if I can get tomcat 4.1 to
follow my symbolic links?

(symbolic links between files or directories inside of
webapps/nuserve work fine, however)

I have seen a few other posts about this (but no answers)
that indicate it works fine in 4.0 too, but not 4.1.

Thanks,
Dan

Aren't we feeling a little self righteous today!!

I don't have any release note that came with my tomcat 4.1.10.  In the
linux tar.gz file I downloaded there is 1 release note, and it does not
mention symbolic links ANYWHERE!!

If you would like to enlighten us all as to where you documented this
change, so I could read it first hand, that would be fine.

I would like to know why this change was made without allowing an option
to turn it off.  There are some good reasons to allow such a situation.

I wonder why I even bother writing the release notes :-(

See bug 11501 and bug 12076

This is currently partially fixed in 4.1.11
