[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3414) Symbolic links inside deployed ear/war are not followed by web server

Symbolic links inside deployed ear/war are not followed by web server --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-3414 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3414 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Web Services Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Beta1, 7.1.0.CR1 Environment: Fedora 16 Reporter: Ronen Angluster Assignee: Jason Greene when creating a symbolic link inside a deployed ear/war the symbolic link's target is not followed when accessing it from a web browser i.e. in jboss-as/standalone/deplyoment/somedomain.ear/files we created a symbolic link named "version.js" which points to /usr/share/something/version.js the target file (/usr/share/...) is accessible by all (chmod'd to 777) and is readable by the jboss-as user which runs the Jboss application server. when accessing http://domain:8080/something/files/version.js we get an 404 error, seems like the file is not found by the server. when placing the file instead of symbolic link, the file is accessible and all is well
