Hi, I have a servlet, Servlet-A, that rename a file from /tmp/oldFile to /someDirectory/newFile. The Servlet-A runs fine when it runs by itself in a Red Hat Linux 7.2 server that has jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30 running. However, it false to rename the /tmp/oldFile to /someDirectory/newFile when the Servlet-A run (within the jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30) in a Red Hat Linux 7.2 server box that also has jboss-3.2.1_tomcat-4.1.24 running. I thought it may be privilege issue so I set the /someDirectory directory with “chmod –R 777” and run Tomcat as a root user. But, it is still false to rename the /tmp/oldFile file to the /someDirectory/newFile.
The strange thing is that the Servlet-A was able to write the oldFile to the /tmp directory but can not rename the oldFile to the /someDirectory directory that was allowed for writing for ALL user levels. Can this be Jboss prevented the rename operation. I used the canRead and canWrite to check allowable action by the File. It turns out that the Servlet-A can read and write the /tmp/ oldFile. But the Servlet-A can’t read or write the /someDirectory/newFile. The strangest thing is that when the Servlet-A runs in a Red Hat Linux 7.2 server that has ONLY jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30 running, the condition of canRead and canwrite are the same. Meaning that the Servlet-A was able to read, and write the oldFile. But can’t read, and write the newFile. However, the renameTo() method returned true and the Servlet-A was able to rename the /tmp/oldFile into /someDirectory/newFile. Any help in this issue is greatly appreciated.
