I'll check if the developer did that.

I'd rather plead the fifth on that one :)

Actually, I chgrp everything under bla/../tomcat4. to tomcat4. I thought 
this would work as I had made the developer part of the tomcat4 grp. But 
it didn't, so I changed access mode to world read write execute. Not 
wise, not secure, (My BAD...)but now the developer could access the 
relative files.
