Hi Pid, Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delayed ack.
Basically we are creating a softlink to a directory (containing some sound files quite large in size) inside the webapps/project/jsp which we don't want to put directly under the application's project directory. Is there any other settings I need to follow to instruct the tomcat not to delete the softlink contents ?

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? p > Regards, > Nachiketh > > ________________________________ > This e-mail and all material transmitted with it are for the use of the > intended recipient(s) ONLY and contains confidential and/or privileged > information.
