Hi All,
Just wondering if you could help me clarify a few questions I have about tomcat and catalina.policy. Im running tomcat 4.0.4 (w/ security manager) with mod_jk on solaris with about 300+ users, all of whom can deploy jsp/servlets from their public_html directory. A user requirement is that they must is to be able to read/write files in their home directory. This is what im a little confused about. I understand I can put an entry like: permission java.io.FilePermission "/home/-", "read,write,delete,execute";" in catalina.policy, but how does this enable tomcat to write to other user's home directories (when tomcat is running as a user with minimal privledges)? Or must I change permissions on the file to allow the user that is running tomcat to write to it (is this the normal practice?). Also, this is probably more a java question, but do standard unix permissions always take precedence over what is set in catalina.policy? (In my understanding the unix permissions take precedence, but I just wanted to make sure(please excuse my java ignorance)) Any help appreciated, Cheers, _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
