Hi Chuck
Thankyou.
Why however do I get null when I do the following?  Should I be getting the 
context specific temp directory in the form of a directory or casted as a 
string?

ServletContext sc = getServlet().getServletContext();
    File tempDir = (File) sc.getAttribute("workDir");
    String tempDirStr = (String) sc.getAttribute("workDir");
    File tempFile = null;

Assuming your code is part of a servlet, use the
GenericServlet.getServletContext() method.  If the servlet is hidden by
some framework, you'll have to look at the doc for that to figure out
how to retrieve the servlet object.
