[Tomcat]软链接导致context.getRealPath取到null或者获取文件FileNotFoundException的解决方案

问题描述

部署web的时候，为了方便期间，把用户资源做一个link附加到应用中（ln -s /storage /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/xxx），结果发现tomcat里的程序无法读取到这个目录或者里面的文件

例如：ServletActionContext.getServletContext().getRealPath('/storage')就输出为null，其他文件操作的地方，报java.io.FileNotFoundException.

原因是Tomcat下，默认是不支持linking的方式的，需要在配置文件中开启linking

Tomcat6以及之前的版本

修改tomcat/conf/context.xml，在context里面增加：<Resources allowLinking="true" />

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

修改后，重启tomcat，就正常了。
