Symlinked subdirectories of webapps
Hello,
(with respect to tomcat 5.0.28)
I have a bunch of JSP files which work hapily when located in a
subdirectory of webapps/ROOT. However, whenever I want to move that
directory, and then leave a symlink to that directory in webapps/ROOT,
it all falls apart.
I searched around, and the closest think I can find is the
allowLinking="true" flag. but, I cannot figure out where to put
this...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Nick Johnson

As in, a symlink inside the webapp? I wouldn't rely on this... it's not
supported by the spec (likely because it's not cross-platform), and
"allowLinking" is just a Tomcat convenience feature.

It's an attr, I think for <Context/>. Scan the online docs for
allowLinking and it should turn up.
