Hello,

Create x outside of webapps and create a soft link within webapps that

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.
Ok, but the tomcat 5 docs say that "allowLinking" should not be set to
true on Windows systems. Although I'm actually using a Unix flavour as a
production environment, this would pose problems for our development
environments which are Windows-based. Apart from that, I dislike
platform-specific solutions.
Apart from that, wouldn't the symlinks be deleted when the webapp is
undeployed by tomcat? And I couldn't "put them" into the war file to
reappear after re-deployment, could I?
