            Bug ID: 203888
           Summary: www/tomcat8: temp directory should be owned by www to
                    allow applications to use it
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

When tomcat8 is installed from ports the temp directory
(/usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0/temp) is owned by root. When web applications
attempt to use this directory for temporary work files things go wrong, as
tomcat is running as www user.

If directory ownership is changed to www everything works.

Snip from pkg-plist:

%%T%%/lib/websocket-api.jar
%%T%%/temp/safeToDelete.tmp
@dir %%T%%/temp
@owner %%WWWOWN%%
@group %%WWWGRP%%
%%T%%/webapps/ROOT/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
%%T%%/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml

If this is changed to:

%%T%%/lib/websocket-api.jar
%%T%%/temp/safeToDelete.tmp
@owner %%WWWOWN%%
@group %%WWWGRP%%
@dir %%T%%/temp
%%T%%/webapps/ROOT/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
%%T%%/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml

then we would get correct permissions during package install.
