I'm not sure how you have your system set up but I am running on tomcat with
Redhat using virtual domains. Each domain has their own JVM which allows
more control for the users. Since each user is administering their own JVM
when they start and stop the tomcat engine it uses their username.
Therefore any files they create take on their own permissions.
I'm not sure if you can set permissions with the File object but if not you
could exec chmod or something similar if you're on Linux.
Just a thought, but their probably is a better solution for more developed
systems.
