Depends on the server, but JRUN runs from the jsm-default directory (ie.
wherever you were when you ran startjsm.sh). Two ways I've used to make file
I/O server independant:
1.
- build a file path using application.getRealPath(href) where href is
something like "/index.html"
or
- File here = new File(application.getRealPathrequest.getServletPath()))
gives me the filepath of the invoked servlet, from which a getParent() gives
me the directory
2.
- create a session bean class User (for example) with a setUser method you
initialize using getRemoteUser()
- implement getUserFile(name) and putUserFile(name) in the bean, so that
they create files in user-named subdirectories of some well-known location
(I set the directory using a Property)
- write getUserFile.jsp to take request parameter "file" and invoke
user.getUserFile(file) -- this lets client-side software get access to user
files as well, works fine with XML, jpg, html, etc.
NOTE: Method two prevents users from seeing each others' files, which method
1 may not...
