You *can't create* a file into the public folder, 'cuz is packaged, what you
*can do* is write it on the WebContent folder.
*Be aware of multiple calls at this process, because they may overwrite your
file, and you'll not get the real data.*
To do it, use PrintWriter or RandomAccessFile
but you need to address the location manually and this will be attached to
whatever operating system and web server you are using.
When you create any of those object and you put only the file name, then it
will be created inside the folder where the webserver started, in tomcat's
case is the bin folder, but in other web servers may have another name
so, you may wanna try something like this.
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("../webapps/applicationFolderName/file.xml",
> true);

Sometimes server does not allow war uncompression, in this case, it's not
possible to do it.
*doing testing is different, because the IDE setups another path for locate
the project, so when you make any change you dont have to redeploy, so you
may have some issues finding the right location.*
*
And don't forget to close the resources*
the best way to do it is,
PrintWriter out = null;

try{
