By default tomcat, when tomcat undeploys a war it deletes the exploded
directory and follows symlinked directories recursively, whether
allowLinking="true" or not. Is this the intended behavior? I have a
use case in which I want to have allowLinking="true" for my context,
but when the exploded directory gets deleted during undeploy I don't
want it to delete the target of the symlink only the symlink itself.
The recursive delete code was found in 4 places in the code. I
replaced it with a call to a utility method. I have attached a patch
that disables following of symlinks for deletion. It has only been
tested with JDK 5 on Linux.
I am curious to know the details for the use case in which you want
tomcat to follow symlinks for deletion to be the default behavior.
