Re: Shared Javascript, CSS, and Image Files
The symbolic link solution should be fine as long as you configure Tomcat to follow symbolic links (see Steve O's response in this thread). Having a shared webapp as suggested by Johnny could lead to problems with cross site scripting restrictions for the Javascript code if any cookies were involved. -- Stephen Souness Johnny Kewl wrote: - Original Message - From: John Buchholz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 1:21 AM Subject: Shared Javascript, CSS, and Image Files Hi, I am looking for the recommended solution for when multiple webapps need to use the same sets or javascript, css, and image files.
