Hi,
Assuming you mean using sym links.
I encountered the same problem and I found that one has to set the
attribute allowLinking="true" in the Context element of the web-application.

Hello.
I am failing to deploy a eclipse/spring project via smylink to my tomcat.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.26
1.6.0_24-b24 Sun Microsystems Inc.
Linux 3.2.0-35-generic-pae i386
My plan is to use a symlink to the spring workspace:
#########################################################################
root@machine:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps# ls -la
drwxrwxr-x 4 tomcat7 tomcat7 4096 Jan 21 09:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jan 20 20:59 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 20 21:30 ROOT
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Jan 21 09:19 springapp ->
/home/usr/Lab/SpringWorkspace/springapp/war/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 21 09:27 springapp2
#########################################################################
The copied folder springapp2 works fine, the webapp is reachable in the
browser via localhost:8080/springapp2/
The symlink springapp delivers a 404 in the browser trying to open
localhost:8080/springapp/
The logfile output is:
#########################################################################
21.01.2013 09:29:33 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig start
