Or, use:
String sep = File.separator;
if(new File(sep+"tmp"+sep+data.getFileName()).delete())
{
out.writeObject("File Deleted");
} else {
out.writeObject("File Not Deleted");
}

Subject: Deleting files from a servlet
Hello, I have a servlet that deletes a file from the server that the
servlet runs on. The servlet is called from an applet. When I run this
function on a linux box everything works fine and the file is deleted from
the server and db entries relation to where the file is and its id are
deleted. But when I run this from a window's box (windows 98 to be
specific) with either IE5.5 or Netsape 4.75 the file is not deleted from
the server but the database cmds are preformed fine. The code i'm using to
delete the file from the server in my servlet is
if(new File("/tmp/"+data.getFileName()).delete())
{
out.writeObject("File Deleted");
} else {
out.writeObject("File Not Deleted");
}
Is there anything specific to do to make this code work on windows?
Thanks
Sohaila
