allowing symbolic links in webapps/ROOT

[keak]

Hi there,
I did this once before, but totally forgot how to do it again in Tomcat.
What I want is for tomcat to recognize a symbolic link in teh webapps/ROOT directory.
so suppose we cd to webapps/ROOT and do
ln -s /home/user1/jsp1 jsp1
and a symbolic link of webapps/ROOT/jsp1 gets created.

At this point, when I access

http://localhost:8080/jsp1,

I am getting a HTTP Status 404 error.

I believe this is somewhere in server.xml or web.xml that I have to change; I've googled for the past 2h with not much luck.


any help appricicated.
