Server Configuration Reference

--allowLinking--

If the value of this flag is true, symlinks will be allowed inside
the web application,
pointing to resources outside the web application base path. If not specified,
the default value of the flag is false.

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
