Re: Where to put XML file so I can read & write to it from the servlet?

[Zeng, Feng_Hua (CAP,CEF)]

Such questions like "Where to put ** file so ** can read & write **" frequently appear on the lists. I wonder if there would be some universal solution somewhere ? For example, first, it would be best to read the related documentation, I think. ( Of course. So it's just nonsense. ) Second, suppose even we don't know exactly where to location the appropriate directory, then why not try just to create a simplest file of the same type ( for example, here it is XML ) and then to investigate on earth ( -- on the Disk, in fact -- ) where it has been created ? That is at least a clue, I think. ( Of course, someone may argue that the READ directory might well be different than the WRITE one. But that's another thing. ) ( Programming is also kind of philosophy, isn't it ? ) Best regards ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nik DAMPIER" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 10:21 PM Subject: Where to put XML file so I can read & write to it from the servlet? > Can anyone help, > I am trying to develop an web application for my uni project, and I am have > a slight problem.
