http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43117 Summary: Dangerousness of workDir setting on Context Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.14 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I'd like to point out the dangerousness of workDir setting on Context. If workDir is an empty string, i.e. workDir=AA, then workDir will be set as CATALINA_HOME. Therefore if application will be reloaded, then the files in CATALINA_HOME will be deleted. I know this problem is caused by wrong configuration, but it is too dangerous, anyway. I propose a patch.
