AW: tomcat.policy Problem

[Daniel Strobl <Da...@t-online.de>]

I tracked the problem down to the codeBase part of a grant Entry. If I add a
grant without a codeBase it works fine. Do you now how to avoid the problem
because I really need the codeBase entry because we have different grants
for different users ( /home/user1, /home/user2 etc)

Thanks for your help

Betreff: tomcat.policy Problem


I'am running Tomcat 3.2 with -security. I have included an entry in
tomcat.policy to grant read, write Permissions from
<tomcat_home>/webapps/examples/- to <tomcat_home>/webapps/examples/-, but
Tomcat still gives me an AccessViolation on any JSP and servlet trying to
access (create) a file in <tomcat_home>/webapps/examples/.
Did I miss to set things in server.xml or do I have to use other directories
than /webapps (maybe Tomcat assigns default Permissions overriding the ones
in tomcat.policy)?

Thanks for your help.

Betreff: grant - codeBase Problem??


I use tomcat with security. And I want to assign FilePermissions on
different directories for different users /home/user1 /home/user2. Each user
should have permission to write his own directory.
Unfortunally it seems that the codeBase part of an grant section does not
work. If I granted FilePermission to a directory without codeBase set it
works. With codeBase set it does not work.
Is there anything to know about how Tomcat needs grant entries or did I miss
to configure something?
If you need my policy file I will post it.

Thanks for your help
