Wrong file permission when creating a new folder

Hello,

I'm trying to create folders and save files to these folders running my applications through tomcat. The problem is that when I'm creating a folder it gets the permission: rw-r--r-- when I then want to create a folder or file in that folder I don't have permission to do that. What do I have to do to be able to create folders with the permissions rwxr--r-- running from tomcat. I can do this when I'm not using tomcat. Can I make some configurations to make this work?

The problem may not be with Tomcat. You probably try and set read,write & execute booleans.

Also, check to make sure that the userid that Tomcat is running under has those permissions (and in the case of Unix/Linux, umask settings).

Applications running inside of Tomcat should be operating under the same rules as they would if they were stand-alone java apps.

Also, PLEASE don't create files or directories inside WARs or the Tomcat directories (in case you're doing that). Even when it works, it's dangerous.
