Luise, I have the same problem. In Tomcat versions 4.1.* applications are not allowed to follow symlinks that take them out of their webapp directory. The 'allowLinking' is meant to override this but is apparently buggy (it definately didn't work for me). See here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg68686.html I gather this will be fixed in 4.1.13. If you really need to symlink stick with the 4.0 branch for now. Does anyone know for sure if this is planned for a fix in 4.1.13 ? Graham.
