OK, I understand. Ultimately, the data in this file will be passed via a webservice to and from a weblogic server.
While developing just the ointerface piece, I thought I might be able to work just locally by reading/writing the file out. Guess it works on the read but not on the write. Although, is there a way to write it on weblogic without a separate script to catch the request and write the data? Sounds like not.
