tomcat4.1.12 failed to deploy context not under webapp directory

[Liu, Xiaoyan]

Hi, all,

I'm upgrading from 4.1.9 to 4.1.12 and noticed that a previously working
application
is not successfully loaded. It fails at the part of scanning tld files.

The context is defined in server.xml as below. THis context does not live
under
CATALINA_HOME/webapp, and it has resources(jsp pages) symlinked under it.

   <Context path="/app" 
                 docBase="/home/xliu/JSPApplication/pages" 
                 crossContext="false"
                 debug="3" 
                 reloadable="true" > 
         <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
           allowLinking="true" docBase="/home/xliu/JSPApplication/pages" />
        </Context>


The log is attached.  Is this a bug or rather some changes involving
security?

thanks for your help.
