http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6797 Class loader fails if it can't read entire tree upto a classfile Summary: Class loader fails if it can't read entire tree upto a classfile Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.2 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I run tomcat under it's own user and have a webapp in /home/user/webapp/ - with file permissions like: /home/user drwx--x--x /home/user/webapp drwxr-xr-x Then the class loader will fail to load any classes (which might be on the disk at /home/user/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/domain/Class.class) without a meaningful error. Changing permissions to: /home/user drwxr-xr-x /home/user/webapp drwxr-xr-x Will fix the problem but there's no reason at all why the class loader should require anything more than "x" permission to the directories in which a class path lies. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
