Hi,

See that is the problem. My servlets have to be protable across different servlet 
engines, so I cannot hard code path. I don't want to set it as a init parameter 
because my servlets will be installed by different users who are not that familiar 
with servlets. Having them set init args raises the opportunity to a lot of 
configuration problems. 
 I want to be able to run the servlets with minimum configuration.

-Girish

The solution taken by some of our programmers here was to pass an init parameter to 
the servlets specifying where the servlet should write it's data to.

For example, in the zone property file you could add

servlet.au.com.something.initArgs=root=/path/to/where/my/servlets/should/read/write/data

You simply make sure you use this initarg to specify a path whenever opening a file 
for read/write.
