I still don't believe it.
The reason I don't believe it is simple: if I change the permissions in my Context or one of its subdirectories or files to something that prevents Tomcat from using the resources (JSP file or whatever), Tomcat does not change the permissions back to what it needs to work, instead my apps fail and throw errors like crazy.
If Tomcat is doing what you say it is doing, I would never get errors, because Tomcat would just merrily go around and change permissions on resources so that it was happy, which is what you say it is doing.
If anything, it isn't Tomcat that's doing it to you...if I had to guess, it would be samba or something on one of the Windows clients like some goofy "tool" Microsoft has like a fast indexer or some other munged up app (much more likely).

Yes I do confirm it again (at least on Linux Red Hat 7.2, as long as the OS has anything to do with it). Ok I repeat :
- have a web application configured on Tomcat 4.0.3, in a folder like webapps/myApps - share an application's sub-folder (f.ex. webapps/myApps/documents), and try to set permissions (read & write) and ownership for specific user accounts which will access this sub-folder through SMB. - restart Tomcat 4 : all these permissions in the webapps/myApps/documents folder are gone. And furthermore, the folder's Ownership (maybe the problem lies here actually...) is set to user : tomcat4, and group : tomcat4
I can send screenshots if you don't believe this... Nobody heard of this before !? Alain

You're saying Tomcat runs around and changes the directory permissions? I find that really hard to believe...I'm running Tomcat 3.1, 4.1.12, 4.1.18, and 4.1.27 in various places and have never seen this behavior.

Hello,
We have a Red Hat Linux 7.2 Server with Tomcat v4.0.3 installed, and a web application configured, let's say myApps. In this webapps/myApps folder, there are folders which we have shared through SMB so that Windows users can access them, and we have also changed the folder's permissions, so that these users can modify their contents. Everything works fine.
The problem here is when we have to restart Tomcat 4, all permissions under that webapps/myApps folder are restored this way -> User : Tomcat 4, Group : Tomcat 4. So this means that all our permissions settings are cleared ! And we have to set them back again each time we restart Tomcat 4 (in case of a server reboot, or major application change, etc), which is quite annoying.
Is there a way to avoid this ? Thank you very much Alain
