No. Java is platform independent, so would have no platform-dependent way of altering file perms

Hello,<br />
<br />
I hava a Java application that creates directories using the mkdir() method of the File class. This is in UNIX. when the directory is created by madir() it has drwxr-xr-x permissions string by default. As you can see the user has r/w/ex permissions, and the group has only r/ex permissions and does not have 'write' permissions. Our requirement is, when this directory is created, we must give permissions to the group also for writing.<br />
<br />
Since mkdir() defaults to drwxr-xr-x, how can I set the peremissions to be drwxrwxr-x so that the group will also have write permissions when the directory is created.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Directory Permissions problem when using mkdir() of the File class

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
