Is this a dev machine or a public box?
Setting the ability to follow symbolic links is fine on a Linux
(case-sensitive) machine, but on Windows (not case-sensitive) it opens
up the possibility for someone to view your source code. If you really
need this kind of directory structure, I'd recommend a Linux (or other
case-sensitive OS, such as Unix, BSD, OSX, Solaris, etc) server instead.
Anything other then Windows should be fine, but don't do it on a Windows
box.
In case you don't want to take my word for it:

I did not really get the point which context.xml to extend with
allowLinking="true" to make tomcat follow symbolic links.
Can you give me a hint here?
All you do is add allowLinking="true" to your Context tag and that
should take care of it.
<Context path="" docBase="C:\path\to\docbase" allowLinking="true" />
