AW: how to set the path to write files (on the server) from a ser vlet

["Elroy, Rebecca" <Re...@B.Materna.de>]

Why not use an servlet init parameter in your web.xml? Your path is then
specified outside your code and you can easily update it.

Example:
  <servlet>
	<servlet-name>yourservlet</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>your.Servlet</servlet-class>
	<init-param>
	 <param-name>xml_dir</param-name>
	 <param-value>some/path</param-value>
	</init-param>
  </servlet>

Betreff: how to set the path to write files (on the server) from a
servlet



I'm using Tomcat 4.0 and Apache 1.3.22 and I've the following problem:
when my servlet writes an xml file, it goes in a system directory of NT, so
that I've to write the full path "C:\..." to write this file in the right
directory. It's a problem of course because the full path changes if I
change pc, hard disk and so on...
So, how should I set the path to write files in Tomcat ?
Thanks in advance...
