Where to set the allowLinking flag in 4.1.12?

[Roland Glenn McIntosh <ro...@steeltorch.com>]

I'm please that 4.1.12 has the ability to follow symlinks, I just don't know where to set this flag.
I grepped for "allowLinking" in my conf directory and found no commented examples of where this might go.

Please advise.

-rgm

Bill,

I have seen that element documented on the mailing list as:

   <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
              allowLinking="true"
              docBase="" />

I haven't looked at the code, but the presence of a docBase attribute makes
me wonder if the intent is that in the future I can specify which resources
allow symlinks.  For example, I'd prefer not to globally enable symlinks,
but say that you may symlink into a particular path containing shared
resources, e.g.,

   <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
              allowLinking="true"
              docBase="<path-to-shared-resources>" />

That would provide more granular control.  Is that planned?
