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.

Subject: tomcat 4.1.12 and symbolic links

I'm trying to update from java 1.3 and tomcat 4.0.5 to

java 1.4.01
Apache Tomcat/4.1.12-LE-jdk14
linux redhat

the application seams to be running allright, but some of the images are
located in a directory that is pointet to by a symbolic link. 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....
