deployment of .war files

[rincewindis]

Hello all,

I've got this project coded in JSP..
I've made a .war file and want deploys it in my webapps directory.

The problem is that I got this upload dir where people can upload files, and sometimes the .war file unpacks again and empties my upload dir..
Does someone know how to fix that?

(A explenation of how the site is orientated)
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite.war
deploys to
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite/
and in that site i've got this dir
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mysite/upload
and the war file overwrites that dir all the time?
Got any hints for me?

You should never have content uploaded into a subdirectory of webapps - its really bad practice.

You should load the data into another directory on the server.

Okay, and does anyone have any practice on how to do that? =)

Well I guess the same way that you currenlty save files that are uploaded to your site - just alter the path where the files are saved.
