<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to migrate to JBoss 7.1.1 from 4.0.5.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In our application we use lot of symlinks to support CMS content which is managed externally and to support some file bases caching. Here is how the deployment looks like<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Under “/deploy/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/czen/deploy” we’ve our exploded WAR directory

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here <span style="color:#C0504D">release.war</span> is a symlink to ‘/deploy/webapp/current’ which in turn is a symlink to an actual release folder like ‘/deploy/webapp/release-version-xyz’<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This deployment structure worked perfectly fine on JBoss 4.0.5 and now I’m moving this app to JBoss 7.1.1 and here is the deployment structure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Under “/deploy/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/czen/deployments” I’ve moved our
<span style="color:#C0504D">release.war </span>as a symlink. Rest of the structure remains the same as mentioned above. With this setup JBoss 7 start up/ application initialization fails because it’s not able to follow the symlink and find a file that my application
is trying to read at startup. I looked over the documentation and forums to figure out a solution for this but no luck.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could you guys please help in troubleshooting this issue? Is there some configuration parameter that needs to be set or are there other ways. Please let me know, I’ve a deadline fast approaching<o:p></o:p></p>
