It's not actually guaranteed to return anything; this is another shining example of why you should *never* use getRealPath() in a J2EE environment. Tomcat provides a work area for webapps to use via the context attribute javax.servlet.context.tempdir; see the servlet spec and Tomcat configuration guide for details. Alternatively, you could provide the desired location via an environment variable, system property, or JNDI value. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
