symlinks in test build 4.1.14 not working

Hi,

I was testing the 4.1.14 build in the hope it will fix the follow
symlinks outside the basedir problem we have.
With a normal config I can not browse the directory structure or access
files.
With the added Resources tag and allowLinking attribute I can browse the
directories but not retrieve any files.

Below is the relevant extract of the config I'm useing as gleaned by
searching the list:

        <Context path="" docBase="ROOT"
                 debug="0" privileged="false" reloadable="true">
           <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 directory="logs"
                 prefix="prnj_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
           <Resources
className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true" docBase="" />
        </Context>

Spot on. That fixes it, many thanks.

I doubt the case sensitivity check (needed for Windows and OS X, so 
always enabled by default now) is compatible with symlinking. Try 
disabling it to see if it helps (caseSensitive="false").
