Systemd file and umask for tomcat

["Thomas Hoffmann (Speed4Trade GmbH)" <Th...@speed4trade.com.INVALID>]

Hello,
today I was struggling with the umask on ubuntu and tomcat.

The normal way to do it in systemd is:

[Service]
UMask=0022

Unfortunately, this didn’t work and it took me a while to figure out, that Catalina.sh
is overwriting the umask with 0027 if no env-variable was set.
So for tomcat, I needed to set:
Environment='UMASK=0022'

Is there any reason, why tomcat has some unexpected logic which overrides the systemd settings?

Thanks! Thomas

I think Tomcat uses its own way to do things so that it can do it in all
platforms in the same way. Outside of Linux, nobody is using systemd
anyway :)

Therefore I have this in setenv.sh

# Umask for system reserved uid/gid
if [ -z "$UMASK" ]; then
  UMASK="0022"
fi
