creating html files within an web application? write access?

[SOA Work]

Hi there,

I'm a developer new to web programming. I'm using tomcat 5.x to deploy my 
applications.

Now I have an web application using an other application to generate some html 
files and necessary folders.
I would like to use my web application to automatically create the files, so a 
user knowing the url can view the generated html files.

1) Is it possible to execute a java programm within an web application (calling 
the main method)

2) Am I allowed to write files in my web application?

3) Can I configure tomcat to allow this?

Would be nice if someone can help me out here.

Dominik

p.s.: I think i can write at least to the temp directory, am I right? If no 
writing in the web app directory is allowed I could at last generate the files 
in temp directory and write them to my database?

writing files with a web application

[SOA Work]

Hi,

I'm working on a web application using tomcal 5.x as servlet engine.
Now i have to use another java tool for generating some html files. 
I would like to call the main method in my java code. 

My question is now:

1.) am I allowed to call main methods or programms in my web applicatio?

2.) am I allowed to write files on the disk from within an web application? If 
I am, something went wrong while trieing ;-)
Can i write anywhere or have I to write to my application dir or to temp dir or 
something.

thx
Dominik

is there a possibility to define the startup order for webapps?

[SOA Work]

Hi there,

I'm currenttly using tomcat 5.x for running my webapps. Now I have the 
following problem:

I'm using an database system which runs as webapplication inside tomcat.
Another webapplication needs the database connection for startup. 
Everytime I restart tomcat the server doesn't get up, because the second webapp 
ist started before the database webapp. 

Is there a way to define the startup order of the webapplications deployed on a 
server? 
With wich system does tomcat choose the apps while startup? Could it be a 
possibility to rename the folder of the webapps?

thx 
Dominik
