proper way to access local dir? 2004-01-16 - By Shapira, Yoav
Back
Howdy,
The only place the servlet specification allows you to write (and
obviously read) is the directory specified as the servlet context
attribute named javax.servlet.context.tempdir.
The JDK also has java.io.tmpdir which you may or may not be able to use.
Other than that, if you need to write to an arbitrary directory in a
spec-compliant way you need to specify the full path to the directory as
a context or init parameter, and you need to have the application
deployer create/modify that directory as necessary.
