Okey,
I might have been not specific enough with my question:
wath I wanna do is to be able to link to the files (eg to download, or
to use an image in a html-page)
So supposed there is a file in the /media directory, let's say file.jpg
There is no way to acces this file trough an url without creating a link
to the media folder (At least, this is what I found out, or am I wrong
here??)
So what I do is to create a symbolic link, in the MyApp-directory,
(media -> /media/) and than I can use
http://server/MyApp/media/file.jpg to acces the file.jpg
Indeed, like you say, I can acces the target directory directly in my
Java code, that's no problem, but what I wanna do is something different?
Greetings
Ward

Subject: Deployment: do not delete specified folder
to be able to acces them via the web-application,
I created a symbolic link into my application's
root directory, which points to the folder where
the files are actually stored.

Why not just access the target directory directly, and eliminate your
self-imposed complexity with all of its undesirable side effects? If you don't
want to hard-code the path, set it in an environment variable, system property,
or initialization parameter for the webapp. Look here for the last item:
