Thanks for the steps! I was able to reproduce the issue, I will look into it
and let you know what I find out...

Yes of course these are the steps to reproduce the problem:

 

1)Deploy a simple application in this case we use exai application:

/opt/glassfish3.1.2.2/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/exai/

 

2) Create a symbolic to an external directory( like showed in the following
example):

 

                ls
/opt/glassfish3.1.2.2/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/exai/ -al

 

                totale 36

                drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 19 set 16:11 .

                drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 ..

                drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 component

                lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 19 set 16:11 exai_media ->
/archivio_exai/

                -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 429 19 set 16:08 index.xhtml

                drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 media

                drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 META-INF

                drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 pages

                drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 themes

                drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 19 set 16:08 WEB-INF

 

 

3) Redeploy the same application.

 

4) Now if you check in /archivio_exai/ that was previously linked in the
application you will notice that all files are deleted.

 

With glassfish 3.0.1 we don’t have this kind of problem after the upgrade to
3.1.2.2/3.1.2 we notice this . Let me know if is possible to solve it.

 

 

Thanks and Regards

This sounds like a bug. Can you file an issue with a reproducible test case
(with the steps)? When you said the behavior was different for previous
version, which version is that?

 

Thanks,
