I have an application running under Tomcat-6 (on a sid system with Sun Java-6) which uses the java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences class.
This class assumes it can write to user.home, and in particular that it can create a directory called .java and create a file .userPrefs inside it. But with the Debian Tomcat6, user.home points at /usr/share/tomcat6 which is not writable by the tomcat6 user. Now I could overwride user.home in the tomcat6 startup, but I would expect other problems if I did that. I could also (and this is what I have done just to get things going) create a .java directory in /usr/share/tomcat6 and made it owned by tomcat6 so that it works. What is the correct (Debian) solution? David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
