Bug 48757 Resolved: Tomcat deletes content of symbolic links on undeploy of application.

["Fulford, William" <Wi...@ngc.com>]

Looking at the bug report, it looks like this issue was resolved in
Apache Tomcat 6.0.24.  It doesn't show as closed.  We did a preliminary
test and appears it was fixed in 6.0.24, but we want to be absolutely
certain, as the consequences are dire.  Was this fixed for linux in
6.0.24 (and beyond)?

Thanks,

Only in that it was a duplicate of older entry marked as WONTFIX.

Nothing in the changelog shows any modifications in that area.

The best way to avoid Tomcat deleting any part of the webapp is to keep the webapp outside of the <Host> appBase directory, and use a <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[appName].xml with a docBase attribute pointing to the location of the webapp.
