If your OS supports ACL's (Access Control Lists) then adding an ACE (Access Control Entry) to the ACL (Access Control List) of the directory, would tell the file system that the user i.e. WWW$APACHE (or how the account under which Tomcat works is called) has Read, Write, Execute access to the directory and all its file. This is what we do i.e. on OpenVMS. If your OS does not support ACL/ACE well, some other security management features would have to do it. Josef
