ok,

i changed to $(catalina.home)/conf/context.xml
and it changed for all web applications running on tomcat.

BTW, i am not sure what is the procedure to make it for individual applications

thank you very much

i am trying to enable tomcat to follow symbolic links
Unfortunately, i wasnt able to make it work for my web application which
is called "mv" and is located
to the $(catalina.home)/webapps/mv directory.

I tried the options below:

1) touch file to $(catalina.home)/conf/Catalina/localhost/mv.xml

<Context docBase="mv" debug="5" crossContext="true" reloadable="true">
       <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true"  /> </Context>

2)touch file to $(catalina.home)/webapps/mv/META-INF/context.xml

<Context reloadable="true" crossContext="true" path="/mv">
       <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true" /> </Context>

3)Changed server.xml configuration file

add inside <Host> ... </Host> tags:

 <Context path="/mv" docBase="mv" debug="0" reloadable="true"
crossContext="true"> <Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allowLinking="true"
/> </Context>

or
   <DefaultContext allowLinking="true" />


What am i doing wrong...?

You set the allowLinking-Attribute on <Resources> where it is useless and ignored. Set it on <Context>:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
BTW: variant 3) above (modifying server.xml for Context definitions) isn't recommended.
