JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "VFS3 and symlinks": http://community.jboss.org/message/528555#528555 Author : Ales Justin Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/alesj Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- I don't see any other way of fixing this -- force all paths to be canonical.   But I would expect that this call is not cheap, asking the underlying FS for canonical path. And since 99% of users are not using symlinks (at least that's what I would expect), making this force optional makes sense. I don't get this.   Unfortunately I think the problem is even bigger than just VFS::getChild. My guess is that even calls to VirtualFile::getChild are due to fail with symlinked path? -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/528555#528555
