Howdy, >Is using a WAR file the best way to deploy a web app to a remote server?
Yes. >Is there a better way to reload the web app other than to remove and >reinstall it? You can use the Tomcat Manager's webapp deploy/reload mechanisms, either graphically in the browser or via Ant. >Is there a better way to grant the web app access to the image directory >other than the symbolic link? There are alternatives, including: - Specifying the image directory name (absolute path) in your web.xml as a context-param or servlet-param, or in another configuration file your app reads. - Specifying the image directory as an env-entry-ref in your web.xml and defining it as a resource in the server, i.e. in server.xml for tomcat. - Including the images in your WAR. - Putting the images in a database. Are you serving images directly out of this directory, i.e. it's part of an <img src=...> tag?
