I may need some more information to understand the potential problem. You are writing that the browser cannot access the symlinked files. The browser will retrieve files from a server, which will talk to a web server (which is Jetty in the BaseX default distribution), which will eventually communicate with BaseX if a RESTXQ URL was requested. Is it really RESTXQ that tries, but fails to access the symlinked files, or it is Jetty (or the web server of your choice)? How does your web.xml file look like (see also [1])?
