[Bug 597352] Re: wrong owner of /usr/share/tomcat6 dir for some webapps

[Thierry Carrez]

/usr/share/tomcat6 is not writeable by webapps for security reasons, I
don't see why we should remove one of our security layers around tomcat
just to please one specific (and not packaged in Ubuntu) webapp.

I'd suggest that OpProject should create its directory elsewhere, in a
pre-created, tomcat6-owned directory. If it's hardcoded to
CATALINA_BASE, then it's a bug in OpProject (should at least be
CATALINA_HOME). If it's hardcoded to CATALINA_HOME, you can use a
private instance to make tomcat the full owner of the directory (see
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/tomcat.html)

** Changed in: tomcat6 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
