It does. But I simply couldn't hold of the details listing how and where I
am suppose to use this attribute. I did try the following in server.xml
without much success,
<Context path="/stuff" docBase="stuff" debug="0" reloadable="true"
crossContext="false">
<Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
caseSensitive="false"
docBase=""
allowLinking="true"/>
</Context>
With the above lines in server.xml, tomcat startup fails with a message "
${TOMCAT_HOME}/stuff does not exist" which means tomcat is trying to deploy
a webapp which is residing outside ${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps which is not I
am trying to accomplish.
I am kinda stranded!!!

Hi
In my /usr/local/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/RELEASE-NOTES-4.1.txt file I
found the
below:
---------------------------
Symlinking static resources:
---------------------------
Unix symlinks will not work when used in a web application to link
resources
located outside the web application root directory.
This behavior is optional, and the "allowLinking" flag may be used to
disable
the check.
------------------------------
Does this explain your problem?
