Hi folks, I am developing a web application using applets and servlets. The web server is Netscape Enterprise Web Server 3.6 and it resides (as well as all the application related files) on a server which is HPUX 10.2 Here is what I am trying to do and what I am suffering from: The applet side requests to save information on the server. Servlet takes this request from the applet and tries to write this information to a file on the servlet directory. However my servlet classes (servlet directory) are located in a directory which is a softlink to an afs mounted file system. Sometimes this writing request works fine and the servlet successfully writes to the file but most of the time I am receiving java.io.FileNotFoundException errors from Netscape Enterprise Web Server and it fails to save the file. Whenever this error occurs I restart the web server and it starts working fine and gives this error again after a while. I have gone through the archive for similar problems and I could not find a lot except a couple of "owner" related messages. I am also suspecting that it might be a permission denied problem due to the owner of the servlet process and the directory to be written to. I guess sometimes this afs system recognizes the user but sometimes it does not. The softlink from webserver to the afs mounted system is owned by a user in the afs mounted system. The fact that this file saving works from time to time makes it harder to follow-up since the problem itself is not consistent. If anybody has some insight into that I will be very happy to hear, Cheers, Didem __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
