Subject: Re: Make uploaded files survive to re-deploy
We us the Apache web server as well, and we dump image
files to that....
That adds unnecessary complexity and impacts performance for dynamic
content.

It's not really difficult. Define a <Context> element for an additional
webapp that targets the external directory via a docBase attribute, and
place that <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[newAppName].xml; use
something like "images" (without the quotes) for [newAppName]. Tomcat's
DefaultServlet will happily retrieve and display images or other static
content from there when referenced via
http://[host]/[newAppName]/[file].[type].
