Tomcat – Run/Execute permissions of script in Tomcat WAR file

deploymentpermissionstomcat

I have a script inside the WEB-INF folder that the Java runs. When I deploy the WAR, there are no execute permissions (644 instead of 755).
How do I set the permissions of files inside the WAR?

In the webapps directory (or whatever directory you have the app deployed), just run a

chmod -R 2755 webapps

and you should be good.

Tomcat – Auto-deploy WAR to arbitrary URL on Tomcat

Thanks to a mailing list response, I found a way to do what I want.

The solution is to not use the auto-deploy feature for WAR files in "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps", but instead uploading the WAR file to another directory. Then one must explicitly create a context configuration file matching the URL path, e.g. "/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/sub#url.xml" with this content:

<Context docBase="/path/to/war/arbitrary-filename.war" />

Tomcat .war deployment and rollback

To be sure, I would undeploy the application, check my tomcat/webapps/ folder for any traces of the application having been left & then deploy the 'original' application.
