Hi Jason, Thank you for the information. It is a long paragraph. I checked the /SomeDirectory again, and it is the same name. I was able to create directory with the mkdir -p /SomeDirectory/firstSubdirectory/secondSubdirectory and manually created a file by this command "touch /SomeDirectory/firstSubdirectory/secondSubdirectory/newFile" . The Servlet was able to create directories under the /SomeDirectory directory. For example, the Servlet was able to create /SomeDirectory/firstSubdirectory/secondSubdirectory directories. But the Servlet can’t rename the file named oldFile under the /tmp directory to /SomeDirectory/firstSubdirectory/secondSubdirectory/newFile. The Servlet did created all directories under the /SomeDirectory by not able to move the oldFile to the that directory. The same code work fines what it run without the Jboss running in the same server.
