[jboss-as7-dev] Help need with JBoss 7 migration

[Shashank Bellary]

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
