Hi, I'm new to tomcat and trying to figure out how to deploy a WAR file without deleting all the contents of the old application. That is, I want to overwrite the files with my new archive but not delete any other files that were already there.
The reason I want to do this is because my data and program files are all under the same hierarchy. I want to replace my programs, but not my data. I tried using a symbolic link for my data directory, but tomcat followed the symbolic link and deleted everything in there when expanding the new WAR file. Any help would be appreciated. DC
