Tomcat 4.1.10 does not follow symlinks in a webapp
Summary: Tomcat 4.1.10 does not follow symlinks in a webapp
Product: Tomcat 4
Version: 4.1.10
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: Other
Component: Unknown
AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: roland@steeltorch.com
Whereas 4.0.4 did. To test:
1. shutdown Tomcat if running.
2. move $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp to ~/index.jsp.
3. ln -s ~/index.jsp $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp
4. start up Tomcat and navitage to http://localhost:8080 (or whatever)
I am experiencing difficulty loading jar files from my WEBINF/lib directory
which are symlinks. Here is what my logfile says:

resource path /WEB-INF/lib/jaxen-full.jar

-----------------
This works fine if the file is *NOT* a symlink. I could not find anything that
describes a "follow symlinks" directive for Tomcat, such as there is for Apache.
