Hi, I haven't thought about it thoroughly but I suspect changing /var/lib/tomcat8 permissions to tomcat8:tomcat8 could create a security issue (for example any webapp could change the Tomcat configuration by replacing the /var/lib/tomcat/conf symlink). What kind of generated data do you want to put in /var/lib/tomcat8? Did you consider using /var/cache/tomcat8 or another custom directory under /var instead? Emmanuel Bourg
