In Windows that's what it means too, but this isn't Windows or Linux...it's a JVM.
Since it wasn't obvious from the code (MessageResources used in pathnames), let me put it another way. The code tries to create a directory /images/<userid>. The Servlet is apparently limited in the filepath it gets to work with. I'd expect that. In Windows, Tomcat executes it and it goes to C:\tomcat4\images\<userid> In my Suze install, Tomcat the analogous directory /opt/tomcat4/webapps/images I didn't check to see if it's *different* because in the code it won't be. It's the same identifier working off of root. Windows Tomcat puts it under it's webapps tree. I'm expecting Suze to do the same. I have a hard time imagining that Tomcat gets a different view of its root file system depending on which OS I runs on. It really ruins the concept of platform independence for this sort of thing. -Joe > you tried to debug it. You can check what is the path before > the directory is created.
