Thanks for the quick reply! However, I can not get tomcat to accept the
context configuration. I created a directory
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/orbeon/META-INF with a context.xml file with the text
<Context path="/orbeon" allowLinking="true"/>
but this only results in tomcat not finding that prefix at all anymore:

HTTP Status 404 - /orbeon/
type Status report
message /orbeon/
description The requested resource (/orbeon/) is not available.

The same happens if I put that content into
/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/orbeon.xml.
The tomcat logfiles do not show any error - it does not log any request either,
though.

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung
