I'm having a problem getting a webapp running in my instance of tomcat.
 I have attached all the relevant info below.

What I'm trying to do is use a sym link in a dir that points to a
"generic" version of my app.  That way I can have numerous versions of
that app on my machine and instead of having to edit the server.xml
every time I want to switch from one version of the app to another I
can just change my sym link.  When I do this I get a "Resources start
failed" error in my log files.

Any ideas?  Do I need to provide more info?  Will Tomcat not allow a
sym link in the docBase of a Context element?

Thanks...
Erik
