Hi there. I'm using tomcat 5.0.18 basically out of the box. I set up a webapp in a directory outside the <tomcat>/webapps directory. So I created a context configuration file for the webapp, and put a symbolic link to it in <tomcat>/conf/Catalina/localhost. This was all per the documentation and the source.
So, everything starts up fine, the webapp works, but the context configuration file gets overwritten/truncated (i.e., it is then an empty file). The same thing happens with 5.0.16. This doesn't happen when I place a copy of the actual configuration file in that directory, instead of a symbolic link. (I'm trying to place as little as possible in the tomcat directory structure, to ease upgrade issues and such.) Any idea what's going on here? I searched all over and couldn't find any discussion of a similar issue. FWIW, my system is Linux (Fedora Core 1). Thanks!
