Carl: I assume you are using a unix variant. You could chown all of the new files in the webapps directory... You could add this to the startup script.
Brad Moreland -----Original Message----- From: Carl Bacher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WAR auto-deploy & context permissions I'm trying to create contexts for the developers at my site by simply posting the war file, eg. mycontext.war, in the webapps directory and restarting tomcat, which creates and automatically extracts it to a context directory named mycontext. It works fine, but the permissions on the directories and files are all only writeable / executable to the owner, which is root (presumably because tomcat was started as root). They are also all in the root group. Is there a way to configure tomcat such that, when the war file is extracted, the expanded context directory hierarchy has the permissions it was either jarred up with, or uses an owner/group other than root so that the permissions can be updated by someone in that group? I'm currently just specifying the context in the server.xml file, creating the directory in webapps and extracting the war file manually, which works just fine.
