I need to include a file from outside of my webapp's directory tree using directive:
<%@ include file="inc/foo.inc" %>
For that purpose I defined Resources element like this:
<Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" debug="0">
<Resources name="inc/foo.inc" className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" docBase="webapps/inc" />
</Context>
In theory I should see Tomcat opening "$CATALINA_HOME"/webapps/inc/foo.inc, but it goes for "$CATALINA_HOME"/webapps/myapp/inc/foo.inc.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I need to use include directive in JSP that points to file physically located outside directory tree for Web application context. I tested two forms of include directive: <%@include file="/../inc/name.inc" %> and <%@include file="/symlink/name.inc" %>.
As far as I can tell from Tomcat 4.1.18 sources the former is forbidden, i.e., cannot specify path that goes beyond application context. The latter is OK, as long as org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setAllowLinking() has been called with true argument.
You have to use a Resources element for that to be called. Remy
