Why do you think that SELinux has something to do with your issue if

This sounds like a general tomcat issue thou, doesn't it?
True enough. I've never used RedHat's Tomcat6. Even on RHEL I always use
it straight and unmolested from Apache and can't recall a single case
where moving the appdir and putting a symlink in it's place broke
anything. What is absolutely bizarre is that .jar references via symlink
don't work no matter if they point across filesystems or even the current
local directory. The only way I can get Tomcat to load any of these libs
is if I put the actual, fat .jar file in WEB-INF/lib/. But of course doing
any file access in a SHELL follows and accesses symlinks just fine.
I'm not sure what I managed to break. Because prior to moving the RHN
webapp from /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps to /opt/spacewalk/webapp, the
symlinks within that tree worked fine.

It has been my experience that whenever something doesn't work and there
is no rational basis for it to fail, it's SELinux' fault. Unfair?
