Description Orion Poplawski 2010-07-16 17:39:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

I'm starting to package up a tomcat webapp.  Following the ideas in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/JavaWebApps, I made symbolic links to the jars needed in /usr/share/java to <tomcat6appdir>/<app>/WEB-INF/lib and /olfs-libraries.  But by default tomcat6 ignores symbolic links in the webapp directories.  Putting:

<Context allowLinking="true">

in /etc/tomcat6/context.xml allows symbolic linking.

Maybe there is a better way of handling libraries that tomcat webapps need.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
tomcat6-6.0.26-8.fc14.noarch
Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2010-07-16 19:39:30 UTC 
This can (and probably should) be handled in a per-app META-INF/context.xml file.
