Hi all,
thanks a lot for all solutions proposed.
I think I am going create the directory within my webapp, but without
symbolic link, as my images are temporary files.
So even if the directory is deleted it really does not matter
Thanks again

you are right Moises, if you really wanna write to somewhere within
the webapp deploy folder, a better is to make a soft symbol link point
to the directory that stores the image,
<catalina_home>/webapps
--- <your_web>
---- <image_dir> -------------------> /tmp/images/
so next time update the war, even the folder is removed, the images
still at /tmp
we can just make a new <image_dir> and make a new link that points to
/tmp/images
whenever image needs to be written to ...

I had a similar question, earlier... There is another issue here: you
are
right that WAR files are expanded back into a folder - at least by
default -
so one could still create a folder within the web app to write to,
and which
is visible to browsers... Until one deploys an updated WAR file.
At that
point, tomcat will delete the old expanded WAR folder, in order to
create a
new one to deploy the new WAR file into - and in the process it will
remove
all files that were created before. If these files are just transient
anyway, then it does not matter...
