Thanks for the reply, I see that the spec mentions "private temporary directory" - I need a permananent directory - by temporary I take it to mean that I can't count on the files "sticking around". Is my understanding here flawed?
Also, I'd like to be able to specify the name and location. I had seen the javax.servlet.ServletContext.log() methods, but they seem to offer no control over where the output is placed. I'd rather have a debug file per class than have all messages sent to a single file. And finally, I have servlets that take data from a db and place it in a (text) file for the user to download - so once again a file creation issue where I need a general file i/o solution. thanks, -Steve On Tue, 2002-08-13 at 20:15, Sexton, George wrote: > >From the servlet 2.3 Specification: > > SRV.3.7.1 Temporary Working Directories > > A temporary storage directory is required for each servlet context.
