symlink in a webapp
Hello !
I'm trying to have a symlink in one of my webapp. Something like :
myApp/
+- WEB-INF/
+- myOtherDir -> symlink to somewhere else
Tomcat doesnt seem to follow the symlink (I get a 404). It probably
is that way for very good security reasons, but in the developpement
phase, it would me most usefull for me to be able to use that trick.
I suspect there is a config option somewhere but I could find it ...
Thx for your help ...

Hi,
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Look for the allowLinking attribute...
