Instead there is a method in the servlet context : getRealPath(String relativefilename) -> then you can open a "normal" fileoutputstream.

Hi, Making URLConnection to a directory under WEB-INF, is the same like writing this url in the explorer. However, You can't go directly to any directory under WEB-INF in that way, which justifies your failure of writing to this directory. You can write to files in this directory, if you don't use URLConnection.

I was trying to see if I could write to a file in the /WEB-INF directory but I couldn't get it to work - is there a problem with a servlet writing to this directory or is it just me (again ;( ) ? thanks /j-p. URL url = context.getResource("/contextTest.txt"); URLConnection con = url.openConnection(); con.setDoOutput(true); OutputStream out = con.getOutputStream(); PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(out)); pw.println("foo"); pw.close(); out.close(); ----------------------- JUSTATEST Art Online www.justatest.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> **** DISCLAIMER **** "This e-mail and any attachments thereto may contain information which is confidential and/or protected by intellectual property rights and are intended for the sole use of the recipient(s) named above.
