So how do you point to content outside of a war? I have the same problem with 5.0.28 pointing to static content outside of a war. Even a symlink included in the war (and setting followsymlinks=true in the context) does not work.

Symbolic link
Hi, How can I allow symbolic links in tomcat. I have a directory /home/jiten/images/. There are several programs updating this images folder and accessing it. If I move it or make it symbolic link, they will break. I am supposed to show the images in this directory from tomcat. What is the best way? I tried making symbolic link in webapps directory as well as in my jsp application directory. I get a 404 error in both cases. I guess symbolic links are not allowed by default.

If I move it or make it symbolic link, they will break. Specifically, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to serve those images via Tomcat, i.e. through IMG tags in HTML? This question came up recently. To recap: Java webapps they are meant to be self-contained applications. Serving files outside of the context area will take more than a symlink. =) Specifically, the servlet spec doesn't deal with symlinks because they're OS-specific and there's no way to follow them from inside a WAR file. If the images are static and you're in a development cycle, just get used to all apps having copies of the images. You'll spare yourself the headache of trying to get around this limitation of the spec. Addendum: If the images are being dynamically updated, say, by an external program: you could a servlet that loads the images from outside the context area. That would involve: 1/ having all relevant IMG tags refer to this servlet 2/ setting up the servlet to know where the images are on-disk 3/ having the servlet set the content-type and other related headers, then open the file and stream it out to the client. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi In my /usr/local/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/RELEASE-NOTES-4.1.txt file I found the below: --- Symlinking static resources: --- Unix symlinks will not work when used in a web application to link resources located outside the web application root directory.

Re: Symbolic Link
It does. But I simply couldn't hold of the details listing how and where I am suppose to use this attribute. I did try the following in server.xml without much success, Context path=/stuff docBase=stuff debug=0 reloadable=true crossContext=false Resources className=org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext caseSensitive=false docBase= allowLinking=true/ /Context With the above lines in server.xml, tomcat startup fails with a message ${TOMCAT_HOME}/stuff does not exist which means tomcat is trying to deploy a webapp which is residing outside ${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps which is not I am trying to accomplish.

I can not give too much ideas only some facts I posted exactly the same question before and got no response. jsp:include seems not working with symlinked directory. It works on 4.0 version, but stops working on 4.1 version. It really works fine with TC4.0.4, and everything works: linked directories, linked files, static and dinamic includes of linked files With TC 4.1.9 it does not work but if I make top level linked directory in my webapps folder, that works fine assuming that this directory itself does not have symlinks inside of it As soon as it gets symlinkes inside, those don't not work. For example, the context http://localhost:8080/german/, where german is a symbolic link to the directory /opt/tomcat4.0.4/webapps/german in the webapps folder of TC 4.1.9 (/opt/tocmat4.1.9/webapps), shows next listing Filename Size Last Modified AddNewWord.jsp 0.2 kb Fri, 23 Aug 2002 22:57:08 GMT OracleDataSource.jsp 1.8 kb Thu, 22 Aug 2002 05:53:38 GMT admin/ null include.jsp 0.1 kb Tue, 27 Aug 2002 06:19:25 GMT link.html/ null link.jsp/ null Everywhere where there is null we have symbolic links: admin - folder, other files and they don't work. But usual jsp in the symlinked folder german works fine. Although include.jsp does not work (shows empty page) because it has inside only include statements for above mentioned symlinks Is it a tomcat bug or coyote bug? Actually I tried a quick test, commented Coyote connector (org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector) with port 8080 and uncommented the HttpConnector(org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector), for the last one I changed port 8083 to 8080.
