Hello. I have successfully deployed my first test servlet
using Tomcat as a standalone container. I am concerned with
the default filesystem permissions given to my servlet
by Tomcat.
When my servlet is deployed under:
tomcat_dir/webapps/mycontext
the servlet is allowed to create the following directory:
tomcat_dir/mydir
It seems to me that the servlet, by default, should have
NO filesystem permissions outside of its deployment context.
Is this behavior by design, and if so, why? :)
Also if so, is there a way to disable it without hacking the
source code?
Thanks,
Chad Loder
