Hi Mathieu,

So each virtualhost in server.xml got one webapps directory under
catalina_home (/var/lib/tomcat9).

But tomcat9 cannot deploy war files (applications) because the unix user
"tomcat" cannot have access read-write under /var/lib/tomcat9.
The tomcat user isn't allowed to write to /var/lib/tomcat9 because we
want to prevent a malicious or compromised web application from altering
the Tomcat configuration. So you have to customize the systemd
configuration for the tomcat9 service as you've figured out.


I have found the solution with adding this line :

ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/tomcat9/

in the systemctl file service of tomcat9
/usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat9.service

and systemctl daemon-reload

But, when an update of debian occured on tomcat9 package, i lost my
modification.
/usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat9.service belongs to the package and
should not be modified. Custom settings go to a conf file under
/etc/systemd/system/tomcat9.service.d/, you can look at the
README.Debian file for an example.
