Re: [FreeMarker-user] disableCanonicalPathCheck and spring framework

[Mario G. <mar...@te...>]

Hi Daniel,
we have a setup mixed with html files and a tomcat app behind a
loadbalancer. The tomcat app is located:
/var/www/DOMAIN/WEB-INF
the apache root is
/var/www/html (symlink to nfs share /mnt/nfs)
and the tomcat is symlinked into that directory:
/var/www/html/DOMAIN/WEB-INF -> /var/www/DOMAIN/WEB-INF
because the tomcat webapp should be only local on every host, that we
can test an webapp update on a single host.
The templates are located in /var/www/DOMAIN/WEB-INF/views.

For now the solution is that we do a bind mount:
mount -o bind /var/www/DOMAIN/WEB-INF /var/www/html/DOMAIN/WEB-INF

but this is not what we want. The app should be able to be configured as
you described below. So that we can define that the templates are
located on a path so that the no symlink check will not be needed.

BTW:
I found the mailing list some where on the main site and did not read it
carfully. So sorry for that. I will go off here now and asking over the
apache next time.

Thank you for your time! I will try to inform you if I can solve our
problem in this way.

Regards Mario
