First of all, everything is fine with the unpacking of the War file. But I need a safe concept for a ftp user which should upload, delete and manage the War file/Application.
Tomcat 5.5 is running with tomcat:tomcat Ftpuser is ftpuser:tomcat The webapps directory has ownership ftpuser:tomcat, group permission for tomcat is rwx. After uploading the war per ftp, tomcat is unpacking the war file in the webapps folder in a subdirectory. Everything is accessible and works, fine. If the ftpuser deletes the war file, tomcat is deleting the application subdirectory, fine. In some circumstances it will be important for the ftp user to do some changes to the unpacked application (mostly change some values in xml files or altering some jsps), leaving the rest of the application untouched. Tomcat is extracting the War file with tomcat:tomcat, but with group permission read only for group. So the ftpuser belonging to group tomcat has no chance to alter any files, bad. So I`ve got some questions: Is it possible to unpack a war file always with group permission read/write? Is there a way telling tomcat to extract war files with ownership ftpuser:tomcat? Everything could be done by changing permissions with chown or chmod, but the ftpuser has no bash, and a cronjob would be the last thing I want to do.
