By default tomcat, when tomcat undeploys a war it deletes the exploded directory and follows symlinked directories recursively, whether allowLinking="true" or not. Is this the intended behavior? I have a use case in which I want to have allowLinking="true" for my context, but when the exploded directory gets deleted during undeploy I don't want it to delete the target of the symlink only the symlink itself. The recursive delete code was found in 4 places in the code. I replaced it with a call to a utility method. I have attached a patch that disables following of symlinks for deletion. It has only been tested with JDK 5 on Linux.
I am curious to know the details for the use case in which you want tomcat to follow symlinks for deletion to be the default behavior. Michael Bailey
