This is an excerpt from the Tomcat 4.1 Relese Notes that might help.
--------------------------------------
Symlinking static resources
--------------------------------------
Unix symlinks will not work when used in a web application to link
resources
located outside the web application root directory.
This behaviour will be made optional in an upcoming version of Tomcat
4.1, but
will be the default one.
Hope this helps,
Nathan.

anyone experienced similar problems? Is there an equivalent for the Apache
"follow symlinks" directive that I have not stumbled across yet?
