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
