So you can get a list of names, but you can't get any other information about the files, like anything returned by stat(). I tried every other tool I could think of (stat, ls, vi, less, etc.) short of writing the program in C myself to see what I could see, and everything gave me either an error (e.g. ls) or en empty listing (vi) of that directory. > And, of course, Windows knows nothing about this... (meaning the > JRE has to fake it a bit). I think the JRE uses honest-to-goodness execute permissions for certain things on modern (read: NT) filesystems, but I think there are some files that have implicit execute permission (like anything ending in .com, .exe, .pif, .bat, .cmd, or maybe others as well). > Seems a bit odd that a .jar or .war file would need execute > access, though. ? Not looking for execute privs on the WAR... only the containing directory. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUvuKIAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY/+AP/RmAdEas/AiQT7cvgaJcUbIA QRrbm05u7S9rVC0fSVLKikJplyxIcITBGkAwDL2QbmdbeykvWY1mMnyw0vQONBG0 Zv4zdxGlQ35PuLQCB/zYrTyuAH3GX5xtp7cHWoyxbOjFjP8psC4jUaHAEftqcNhY kXvxn1FjwnGKJ89Ijwf6iNMVxS7suUV5fcYsI6RBhwYElmg1Mwub8iW3eO1n2FIp VoIOLOYzUasfThfpBFczjh/PmbvO1s5F58zSS+4Hq5wFUVn7cBvJjXTOE33oYoYH GP9KHOaKFiCKbxOLxmN40TG27zoJjM3lb0ptwzBZlyUKEnZ1Dd33y8v/wa3T29ah JGHWaqHFCt/uGNGf9C3HRzJdomqsmTT9yNgnDpTf4lNUkd67N/Iea6UE4eKqfFFC jlh5ZOnPftSaZNV4feNwYqpZyd2aqhHvbZvH/Bs17YOrSDUlE6MtqStVU4aBIKH4 iPXw7liHS1u0f/9UTpYbrWGrOFpwb1c/AD+SOd7s0cEqlFEtoB9G/Soj6jLLyzFe /DdlUMHhKUsQyiexBBYTOUBJu9MBiyhN1uJbGV7jSj014MkExnkh8BsXQgbomQ2n 6PyG/aWlBeeY+VaSqfAxiP5r5HGO9aUPMd7fPE9O7geIw4WCFSDZyua7DXLIIlR+ Xz70XfscxWP8tT5NNakC =/69Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
