I just tested creating a symlink in deployments to exploded content
elsewhere, and it worked fine.
Can you start a thread in the user forums with more details on the
deployment failure?

Hi Guys,
I’m trying to migrate to JBoss 7.1.1 from 4.0.5.
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
JBoss 4.0.5:
-----------------
Under “/deploy/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/czen/deploy” we’ve our exploded WAR
directory release.war
Here release.war is a symlink to ‘/deploy/webapp/current’ which in turn
is a symlink to an actual release folder like
‘/deploy/webapp/release-version-xyz’
‘release-version-xyz’ folder has the following structure
-WEB-INF
-JSP
-Content
-Cache
-JS
-CSS
Here both Content and Cache folders are symlinks to
/deploy/webapp/
-CMSContent
-Cache
respectively.
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
Under “/deploy/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/czen/deployments” I’ve moved our
release.war 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.
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
Thanks & Regards
Shashank
