Check the release notes. Symbolic links are disabled by default in newer versions of Tomcat. In addition, the workaround in 4.1.12 is buggy as far as I know. I think you have to go up to .13 or .14 to get the fix for the fix.
Search the archives for "allowLinking" or something similar...this comes up quite a bit.

Using the old setup, this is not a problem, but using the new setup this does not work? Any ideas? If i type in the url www.domain.com/images/XXlib I get The requested resource (/images/XXlib/) is not available /images is ok, but XXlib, the sybolic link is not? The context is referenced using an absolut path - and it all works using the old setup....
