Re: [jetty-users] root webapp on Jetty 8.1.8.v20121106

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

well, 7 and 8 are basically the same codebase, they release at the same time, we maintain changes between them with merges, etc...the only real difference is a thin layer supporting servlet 3.0 but the deployment mechanism are effectively the same, or they should be.

open up a bug at bugs.eclipse.org under RT/Jetty project and we can take a look

I'm doing the same thing, which works fine on Win7/Jetty8.

But when I had a developer do the same thing on a Mac, he got the exact problem you describe.

Hi All,

I've recently been testing upgrading from Jetty 6 to 8. Initially I upgraded to v7, which went fine but with v8 I'm having a problem with a 'root' folder in /webapp.

Basically, I'm using a symbolic link (which works in v6 and v7) to link to a directory, the link is called root. Problem is, starting v8 creates it as the name of the directory it's linked to, and not the link (so, ln -s /app/myprogram/core root shows as '/core' instead of '/' in Jetty). I took the .war instead, called it root.war, and placed it in the webapp, which worked fine.

Any change in behaviour between v6/v7 and v8 I need to know about? Feel like I'm missing something very obvious here, but symbolic links in v6 and v7 in the /webapp directory seemed to work fine, but not in v8.

Cheers,

Tom
