Hi All,
I think the problem can be resolved by creating the
temporary directory, anyother directory which location
can be "hard-wired as initial parameter in
the web.xml file". But where in my application's
web.xml I have to "hard-wire" this directory. Can you
please let me exactly where should I "hard-wire" this
directory so that my application can dynamically
create the "properties file" inside this directory.
Thanks,
Vikas Nagpal.
