The rule of thumb with error messages is :- Do not be bewildered by a scroll of error messages.
Look at the first error message which in this case is > java.io.FileNotFoundException: > > java.io.FileNotFoundException: > usr50/home/mgardne/public_html/servlets/artxml/pacman.xml > > (No such file or directory) The error is simply - The specified file <name> cannot be found. That's it! No mystery, No magic! You can actually cause this error delibrately to make sure by misnaming the file. ----- Original Message ----- From: GW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2002 10:50:29 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: More File IO trouble > Hi > If your file exists, check your path again, maybe you miss spelt something. > usr50/home/mgardne/public_html/servlets/artxml/pacman.xml > a shot in the dark just out of curiosity *-) > shouldn't the path read > usr50/home/mgardner... instead of > usr50/home/mgardne... > ? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Monte Gardner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 12:34 AM > Subject: More File IO trouble > > > > In order to process a user request to make changes to the > > user's preference file, I have to write to a file from a Servlet. > > When I try to write to the file I get the following exception: > > > > java.io.FileNotFoundException: > usr50/home/mgardne/public_html/servlets/artxml/pacman.xml > > (No such file or directory) > > at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) > > at java.io.FileOutputStream.(FileOutputStream.java:102) > > at java.io.FileOutputStream.(FileOutputStream.java:62) > > at java.io.FileOutputStream.(FileOutputStream.java:132) > > at java.io.FileWriter.(FileWriter.java:43) > > at art.Artist.writeTo(Artist.java:88) > > at art.Artist.writeTo(Artist.java:101) > > at artists.upload2_7._jspService(upload2_7.java:181) > > at > org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:119) > > at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) > > at > > org.apache.tomcat.facade.ServletHandler.doService(ServletHandler.java:574) > > at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.invoke(Handler.java:322) > > at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:235) > > at > > org.apache.tomcat.facade.ServletHandler.service(ServletHandler.java:485) > > at > > > org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:91 > 7) > > at > > org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:833) > > at > > > org.apache.tomcat.modules.server.Ajp13Interceptor.processConnection(Ajp13Int > erceptor.java:341) > > at > > org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:494) > > at > > > org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.jav > a:516) > > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479) > > > > > > I have checked several times, and the file does in fact exists.
