The file permission that you set using setPosixFilePermission() is for how can your web application access this file. When user login to your application, the file permission will be stored base on their browser settings, their OS settings. This is not related to how the server side file permission.

So basically you are saying we cannot have same permission as in server and handling client permission is not in control – Akshobhya Jun 16 '16 at 05:11
That's correct, because you serve the file via your application. – LynxZh Jun 16 '16 at 05:58
