For the likes of me:
It is not enough to specify this just for the ROOT context, the
same <Resources>... stuff needs to be present in *every* context
for which you'd like symbolic links to work.
As far as I know, you need to mention those <Context>s for which you
want symbolic links in your server.xml, one at a time.
E.g.:
<Context path="/tomcat-docs" docBase="tomcat-docs" debug="1">
<Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true"
/>
</Context>
<Context path="/jsp-examples" docBase="jsp-examples" debug="1">
<Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true"
/>
</Context>
In other words, appearently you cannot automatically deploy
anything that needs symbolic links by just placing it in webapps/ .
Related bugs:
Bug 25010, symbolic links should be supported through <DefaultContext>,
which would give us symbolic links _and_ autodeployment.
Bug 25011, this flag should be documented for <Resources>.
