[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBVFS-138) Issues with symboic links in VFS3

[John Bailey (JIRA)]

     [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBVFS-138?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

John Bailey updated JBVFS-138:
------------------------------

    Description: 
If a filesystem is mounted for a path that contains a symbolic link, it will only mount at the path provided at mount time.  In other words if you mount it using the canonical path, it will not be accessible using the path containing the symlink.  The same is true for the opposite case.  

Ex.
   Link:     /path/with/link --> /path/without/link
   Mount:  /path/without/link/archive.ear
   Mount:  /path/without/link/archive.ear/archive.jar
   Access: new URL("file:///path/with/link/archive.ear/archive.jar")   <---  This is fail as /path/with/link/archive.ear/archive.jar does not point to the mounted filesystem.  It will default to the RealFilesystem and archive.jar will not exist.


* See http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/vfs/trunk/src/test/java/org/jboss/test/vfs/SymlinkTestCase.java for more details
