Description Osamu Nagano 2015-08-17 05:14:43 UTC

Description of problem:
In jboss-web.xml, <overlay> can be used to indicate a directory which is outside of the deployment.  But symbolic links in the overlay directory are not followed and 404 is returned.  This behaviour doesn't change even if <symbolic-linking-enabled> is enabled in the jboss-web.xml.

Comment 1 Osamu Nagano 2015-08-19 00:58:51 UTC

JBoss CLI has a command, deployment-overlay.  It can overlay files, but not directories.  Though this makes sense because a deployment can be remote.

Verified on EAP 6.4.7.CP.CR2

Retroactively bulk-closing issues from released EAP 6.4 cumulative patches.
