> In earlier versions of JBoss AS it was possible to access external web resources (e.g. html files) via symbolic links from within an exploded Java EE Artifact (e.g. war, ear). 
> In AS 4 this could be achieved by setting allowLinking to true in the context.xml.
> Can you please provide a possibility for JBoss AS 7.x (EAP 6) to provide/access these external web resources.
