Tomcat 4.1.18 and symbolic links

Hi,

I am currently using TC 4.1.18. 
But I'd like to use symlink inside my webapp. I works with TC 4.0.3, but no more with the last version 4.1.18. Why?
For exemple, I have the webapp 'test', which contains a subdirectory "docs". This "docs" directory contains a symlink to /usr/webapps/pdf.
So my webapp structure is:

webapp/test
              |_docs/pdf -> /usr/webapps/pdf

If I try to access any pdf document in the directory /webapp/test/docs/pdf with an url like http://myhost/test/docs/pdf/test.pdf,
it doesn't work. I get the error message:      

    HTTP Status 404 
        The requested resource is not available
            

the symlink has been created with the following command:
ln -s /usr/webapps/pdf


Can someone help me?


Thanks
