I am assuming that you want to save the file on the client machine. If this
is not correct, pl. disregard rest of the mail.

Your code is written to save the file. The code executes on the server side
in a servlet container and hence it is saved on your machine.

You do not need to write the code to save the file. You can just stream the
file to the client. On receiving the file, the client (browser) will display
a dialog box asking to open the file or save it and the user uses this
facility to save the file. The user should enter the location he want to
save to in this dialog box. Your servlet does not need to know about the
location of save. (Does it?? )

I don't think you need this code.
The code/tips for streaming the file to a client is there in the archives
many times over.
