Was ... Re: problem with Classloader and symbolic links in 4.1.12

ok, i installed ant and am now putting classes in the right places.

However, it seems that images and plain html files wont load through symbolic links either. There must be a setting somewhere for this!

The simplest way is to setup the context so that it points to your
development environment.

There is plenty of great examples of exactly how to do this here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html

** Which everybody who is developing web applications really should
read. **

The context element should end up looking something like this:

<Context
     path="/myapp"
     docBase="/full/path/to/my/build"
     reloadable="true"
     debug="99" >

     <Loader
         className="org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader"
         debug="0"
         loaderClass="org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader"
         checkInterval="1"
         reloadable="true"
         delegate="false"/>

     <Logger
         className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
         prefix="myapp_log" suffix=".txt"
         debug="99"
         timestamp="true" />

</Context>

With the Loader element included, once the configuration is
done once, you can just recompile your application directly
into /full/path/to/my/build/WEB-INF/classes and it will update
the classes nicely.
