Andre,

but if a symbolic link is deleted, its target remains unaffected. Are you sure that undeployment can damage my logs somehow?

I'd have to dig through the documentation (which you can also do). But I am pretty sure that up to some version, Tomcat by default first deleted the *content* of whatever was pointed to by the symbolic link (in this case, the log directory), then the symbolic link itself. As I recall, this behaviour was changed at some point, but maybe only when some parameter is specified.
The "Deployment" section of the Tomcat on-line documentation would be the place 
to start.

Anyway, the way (or a way) to go to do this properly has been indicated in a previous message by Chuck (the one where he rectified my own sloppy scenario).
