Pb with symbolic link

Hi everyone,

I have a problem upgrading my Tomcat from 4.0.6 to 4.1.27.  I had a 
symbolic link in a webapp context referencing some place outside this 
context, and had no probleme with tomcat 4.0 to access the files under 
the referenced folder. I upgraded my tomcat, every thing works fine 
except I can no longer access the files of the referenced directory ! 
Has anyone encontered the same problem ? Is there any solution to access 
those files ?

Thanks,

SaM

In your context definition, add the following:

<Resources allowLinking="true"/>

Good Luck!
