Tomcat file permissions on Linux
Hi,
Sorry for cross-posting, but there doesn't seem
to be much action in the servlet forum.
I have a problem with accessing a file from
my webapp running on Tomcat 5.5 under
Ubuntu Linux. I keep on getting the
following exception
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission ./data/result read)
After changing the path to absolute, I can chech
whether the file exists or not, but I can not create
a file in the directory. I get basically the same
exception, but there's a full path and the last
word is write instead of read.
Also I don't understand which directory is the
root directory for webapps. I though it would
be like ../webapps/myApp/, but apparently
it's not.
So if someone here has some knowledge
about how to get this working, please
read my post in the servlet forum for
better description of the situation.
