http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8275 ContextConfig.start() attempts to create a $CATALINA_BASE/temp/ directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |VERIFIED ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-04-18 23:53 ------- I see, so that's where it was hiding. ;-) I can't guess why this issue wasn't encountered with our snapshot from 2002/01/24, but Glenn's CVS log for revision 1.4 of RUNNING.txt (2001/12/26) provides a reasonable explanation: JVM Temporary Directory (java.io.tmpdir property) security patch ---------------------------------------------------------------- The java.io.File.createTempFile() methods use the property java.io.tmpdir for the location of the directory where the JVM places temporary files. If this property doesn't exist, /tmp or /var/tmp gets used on unix systems or c:\\temp on WIN32 systems. This default directory is the same directory that all applications can use for temporary files. Sharing the same system temporary directory between Tomcat and other applications could be a security risk if sensitive data is stored there by other applications. If you run Tomcat with the SecurityManager enabled you would have to grant Tomcat a FilePermission with read, write, and delete for the temporary directory. This series of patches enables the use of a temporary directory located at $CATALINA_BASE/temp so that Tomcat's use of the temporary directory is isolated from the rest of the system. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
