Description ari.suutari 2015-10-20 10:27:39 UTC 
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.

Thanks for your report Ari.

Can you attach your proposed change to pkg-plist as a unified diff against the port please?

You may use svn diff or diff -u
