proper way to access local dir? 2004-01-16 - By Tim Funk

If you don't care about where the files are written to, you can use
"javax.servlet.context.tempdir". See the spec "SRV.3.7.1 Temporary Working
Directories" for details.
If you need a permanent local directory, I prefer to use a JNDI string lookup
(http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4 (See http://cat-4.ora-code.com).1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html)
to the name of the directory. This way I don't need to change my web.xml on
my development box vs qna vs production.
