Or, wasn't there a possibility to place a symlink within the

Or was that precisely the catch, that it always does ?

Look for "aliases":

Thanks. Seen.  Lea, do you follow ?

By the way, in that same page, the next item is :

quote

allowLinking    

If the value of this flag is true, symlinks will be allowed inside the web application, pointing to resources outside the web application base path. If not specified, the default value of the flag is false.

NOTE: This flag MUST NOT be set to true on the Windows platform (or any other OS which does not have a case sensitive filesystem), as it will disable case sensitivity checks, allowing JSP source code disclosure, among other security problems.

unquote

Is this second paragraph really well-placed there ?
Does allowLinking really influence case-sensitivity ?
