Although this didn't work for me I found an article that said to add the default
context setting
allowLinking
to the server.xml which worked.... for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So effectively a soulution has been found. but i would appreciate if
anyone knows why this would work and and changes to the webapps local
context.xml. I
must have written it incorrectly. I don't know
