under liveDeploy a webapp may throw an exception on restart. if some files are soft 
links

           Summary: under liveDeploy a webapp may throw an exception on
                    restart. if some files are soft links
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.27
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

With the "allowLinking" set to true for example:

<Context path="" docBase="../blah">
<Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"  
allowLinking="true"/>
</Context>

Then if the web.xml is touch the subsequest restart of the webapp will
throw.
Reason: During the stop the FileDirContext.release() method is called.
resetting allowLinking to false (via StandardContext.resourcesStop() method)
Once restarted any links are not followed and the system startup will fail.

Solution: ? clearer semantics on what "stopping" means. Should 
release() be split into two methods release() and reset(). Currently
I've just commented-out the resetting of the allowLinking and caseSesitive
flags.
