Create x outside of webapps and create a soft link within webapps that points to x. Then, within server.xml add the following lines: <Context docBase="absolute path to x soft link" path="link name" allowLinking="true"/>
That's it. Everytime the soft link is hit, tomcat will follow the symbolic link get the appropriate requested file under x.
