from 9.1 B51 onwards, the default value of the "allowLinking" property has
been changed to "false", to avoid a JSP source code exposure vulnerability
issue on Windows.
To reactivate symbolic links, specify this property in your webapp's
sun-web.xml:
<sun-web-app>
<property name="allowLinking" value="true"/>
</sun-web-app>
Alternatively, you can specify this property at the <virtual-server> level
in domain.xml, in which case it will apply to all webapps deployed on that
virtual server.
Let me know if this fixes the problem.
Thanks,
Jan
