To follow up on Tim's suggestion:
use:
out = new
FileOutputStream(application.getRealPath("WEB-INF\\classes\\response.txt",
true);
(Here, 'application' has it's JSP meaning as the ServletContext, for a
GenericServlet, replace it by getServletContext()).
Of course, you are SOL if you doing this is you are using unpacked-war
files. In this case the best that you can do is:
out = new FileOutputStream(new
File(application.getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir"),"response.txt
"),true);
