Tomcat 7 Failed to create work directory

I am trying to deploy a WAR generated with Eclipse in my Tomcat 7 webapps directory. There are several Exceptions like this:

Warnung: Failed to create work directory [C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.22\work\Catalina\localhost\QAServlet] for context [/QAServlet]

When I start the tomcat in Eclipse, it works fine.

Can someone help?

May be your war doesn't contain the MANIFEST file. From Eclipse, be sure to check the option that the manifest is present in the war.

It's because Program files is protected system folder. The easiest solution is install tomcat in some unsecured folder (E.g. C:\tomcat).
