Howdy, I'm using Tomcat 5.0.19 on Linux. In an undoubtedly familiar scenario, I've got some static content sitting in folders outside the web application context. I'm using a symbolic link to access the files, which is working fine. However, when I remove the context in order to load a newer version, Tomcat recursively deletes everything contained in the folder that the symbolic link points to. I'm thinking of doing something lame like writing Ant ftp tasks that copy the symbolic link somewhere else before undeploying, then copy it back after re-deploying. But it seems like there must be a better way to do this with some built-in Tomcat functionality. Is there any way to tell Tomcat "Follow symbolic links when serving content, but not when removing a context?" Thanks in advance for any help, -Peter
