Hi,
I had a query regarding Tomcat 6.X. We are developing a web application which will be
using soft-links for files on a the server. To do this we have set allowLinking property
to true in the "context.xml" configuration. We have observed that, upon
un-deploying the .war file by deleting it from the webapps directory, all the contents
under the soft link get deleted as well! We do not want this to happen, how do we ensure
that only the soft link inside the .war file gets deleted.
What are you linking, exactly, that needs to be inside the web
application directory?
If it's just images and styles, (for example), you should make them
available via a URL external to the application itself. You could use a
multi-level war file to make the URLs appear inside the app's URL space.
myapp.war > /myapp/
myapp#scripts.war > /myapp/scripts/
Tomcat *will* remove the contents of the deployed directory when you
undeploy it, this is intentional - otherwise how could you update an
application?
