I seem to recall that undeploying a webapp with a symlink in it can
delete all the files in the area that you've linked to.
As things happen, I just spent 2 hours this morning wondering why an old
webapp that worked fine under Tomcat 4.1, didn't work anymore when moved
to Tomcat 5.5. Until I saw your message above, and added a context.xml
in the webapp with allowLinking=true.
It seems that the old Tomcat 4.1 had such a <Context> element in
server.xml, which disappeared in the move to 5.5.
(catalina_base)/webapps/myapp/META-INF/context.xml :
<Context allowLinking="true" />
did it.
Thanks.
