Hello,
I've hit one snag regarding how the servlet containers handle filesystem
path names migrating a servlet from:
ApacheJServ/1.1.2 (FreeBSD 3.4)
to:
Tomcat Web Server/3.1 (JSP 1.1; Servlet 2.2; Java 1.2.2; SunOS 5.8 sparc;
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.)
My doGet() contains these lines:
-----
PrintWriter outfile = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new
FileWriter("out.txt", true)));
outfile.print(sexString + csv + ageString + csv +
crString + csv + wtString + csv +
new Float(answer).toString() + "\r\n");
outfile.close();
-----
1. On the ApacheJserv machine, I can use:
FileWriter("/any/directory/nobody/can/write/to/out.txt");
And out.txt turns up at that exact path in the filesystem.
2. Trying to use an absolute path with Tomcat generates a runtime
exception if the directory "doesn't exist", but I can't understand where
Tomcat is looking because even "/tmp/out.txt" doesn't work.
3. Under Tomcat, it *seems* to be writing if I use a relative pathname,
say "out.txt", but I can't find the file.
Could someone put me out of my misery and explain Tomcat's view of the
filesystem to me?
