Using getRealPath() inside an app server of any kind is pretty much always a Bad Idea. If you need to access a file from your webapp, use ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(). If you need a place to store a file, it certainly shouldn't be inside the webapp deployment area, which should be treated as read-only. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
