smylink inside webapps to eclipse project fails
Hello.
I am failing to deploy a eclipse/spring project via smylink to my tomcat.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.26
1.6.0_24-b24 Sun Microsystems Inc.
Linux 3.2.0-35-generic-pae i386
My plan is to use a symlink to the spring workspace:
#########################################################################
root@machine:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps# ls -la
drwxrwxr-x 4 tomcat7 tomcat7 4096 Jan 21 09:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 20 20:59 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 20 21:30 ROOT
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Jan 21 09:19 springapp ->
/home/usr/Lab/SpringWorkspace/springapp/war/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 21 09:27 springapp2
#########################################################################
The copied folder springapp2 works fine, the webapp is reachable in the
browser via localhost:8080/springapp2/
The symlink springapp delivers a 404 in the browser trying to open
localhost:8080/springapp/
The logfile output is:

Kalle:
To me this indicates that tomcat can't read the symlink/folder. Are you sure
the permissions are right? Also I'm no expert in tomcat so I'm not quite
sure that tomcat can actually handle symlinks (but I can't see why it
wouldn't).
#########################################################################
/var/lib/tomcat7/conf/sever.xml:
#########################################################################
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" /> </Host>
<Host name="sprigtestsymlink" appBase="webapps/springapp"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
Kalle:
This is wrong. Check
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts. It clearly
states that all appbases should be placed outside the webapps folder (which
is the appbase for the localhost Host element). Remove the Host (also the
one below) and try again.
<Host name="springtestcopiedfolder" appBase="webapps/springapp2"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>

Hi,
Assuming you mean using sym links.
I encountered the same problem and I found that one has to set the
attribute allowLinking="true" in the Context element of the web-application.
