Check the release notes. Symlinks are disabled by default in 4.1.12 and up
for security reasons.
You will need to specify a Resource in server.xml that calls FileDirContext
with "allowLinking" set to true:
<Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true" docBase="" />
Search the archives for more info, this comes up frequently.
