[jboss-user] symLink outside webapp

Hello I am using jboss4.0.5 with tomcat5.5 embedded. My first step was to deploy a webapp outside the box, and i succeeded. Now this application should show graphs created by a monitor daemon that are located OUTSIDE the webapp dir. Lets say the webapp is in /var/webapps/test/ROOT.war and the images are in /var/mrtg/ I've created a symlink in the ROOT.war dir, modified the server.xml and added the attribute allowLinking="true" in the DefaultContext of that web-app but with no luck. I've seen in the mail archive someone had the same problem but haven't seen a solution. So i would like to know if there is a solution for this problem or really jboss doesn't allow symlinks. I know is not a good practice to access content outside the webapp, but these are only graphs and i cannot install Apache only to serve that images :D Thanks in advance Giorgio Ponza
