It depends (TM) There are those who can't operate without tomcat having write access to its own operations, e.g. because they rely on the manager app for deployments. And there are those who prefer Tomcat to not have any write access to its own applications, as a means of hardening the installation. My preference is to limit write permissions (and ownership) to temp, work and logs. Your mileage may vary.
