access to content out of webapps directory

[Manos Moschous <mo...@ics.forth.gr>]

Hi,

I run a tomcat (last version) on a linux platform.
The tomcat is located at /opt/web and it runs as user root

I want to access some images which are located to /home/images/foo

So, i make a link (foo_link) to /opt/web/webapps/links/foo_link that
links to /home/images/foo which contains the images that i want to access.

Unfortunately - i am not able to access that images.
If i try to accees an images to the directory 
/opt/web/webapps/links/foo_link/ everything is fine but not to the
directory (/home/images/foo) that shows the link.

Could someone help me on this....?
is there any property to conf files...?

Thank you in advance!!
