Context/Resources/allowLinking ignored in webapps/*.xml

           Summary: Context/Resources/allowLinking ignored in webapps/*.xml
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.29
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: vilsu74@hotmail.com


Struggled for a few hours to get symlinks in static resources to work... 

Finally I noticed that using <Resources allowLinking="true"/> in a seperate xml-
file inside webapps directory does not work. Instead, you will have to move the 
whole <Context> -element into server.xml to make it work (and yes, even after 
that, the reload problem still persists, bug# 21818).

I suppose this is something that's causing tons of bug reports about symlinks 
to mailing lists etc...
