JBoss ON bundle deployment creates content in wrong location when destination contains a symbolic link and a relative path is used for content location

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Deployment issue of bundle files
  • Deploy a bundle is failing as it cannot create the directory it needs to deploy to.

  • The server is reporting back the following error:

  • File is deployed to resolved symbolic link parent

  • Bundle contents is deployed to the wrong parent location when relative path is used

Environment

  • JBoss Operations Network (ON) 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2
  • JBoss ON provisioning bundle

  • Bundle deployment recipe deploys content above the destination directory utilizing relative paths. For example:

        ...
    <rhq:bundle name="My Test Bunlde"
              version="1.0"
              description="A sample bundle consisting of some random files">
        <rhq:deployment-unit name="Datasource">
            <rhq:file name="test.properties" destinationFile="../../conf/test.properties" replace="false"/>
            <rhq:archive name="files.zip"/>
        </rhq:deployment-unit>
    </rhq:bundle>
    ...

  • Bundle deployment destination contains one or more path elements that is a symbolic link. For example:

    $ ls -l ${JBOSS_HOME}/server/${JBOSS_CONF}/deploy
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 jbossadmin jboss 20 Mar  4 13:03 /opt/jboss/jboss-eap-5.2.0/jboss-as/server/global/deploy -> /data/apps/eap/global/deploy
