Write temp- ile on tomcat
Hi.
I have a little web service, which needs to write a temp file on a
tomcat server where the axis2-webapp is running. If I just use a name
for the file without any path, on a standard tomcat-server as unzipped
from the archive, the file appears in the bin file of the tomcat-server.
I could then get to the temp-directory by using "../temp/filename",
which works on a standard tomcat-server.
But I have it installed under gentoo linux, where the bin-directory is
not in the same directory as the temp-directory, and so I cannot get
there with "../temp/filename".
My Question is, if there is some kind of environment-variable or
something like that, which I can use to get to the temp-directory and
would the code look like? I have seen something like that in a servlet
but could not use it in my service, because it is not a servlet :)
I hope it is not to much a tomcat question for this mailing-list.

Sorry, I didn't meant the first step in the serviceStub but in the
serviceSkeleton.

Thanks for the code. From the java view it seems to work, but when I try
it in my web service it crashes, some NullPointerException is thrown. I
think the exception is thrown when the ServletContext is created.
But I got my web service now to work in a different way, so that I don'
t need a temporary file anymore.
Thanks for your help. I would have gotten that code you sent me on my own

1. The various servlet docs are here
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/docs.html
The API specs might be useful. Which version depends on your version of
tomcat.
2. Code sketch
MessageContext msgCtx = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
|ServletContext srvCtx =
((HttpServlet)msgCtx.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET))
.getServletContext();
String realPath = srvCtx.getRealPath("temp/mytempfile");
This latter is supposed to return a real path in the file system (which
will likely be inside the tomcat webapp running axis). If you put a
temp directory where indicated, you could store a file there.

Re: Write temp- ile on tomcat

Yes, the service is running within axis.
I tried to implement what you said, but I didn't succeed, because I
don't know anything about servlets. And I don't know the first step to
do in my serviceStub, because all I get there is the requestDocument the
client sent.
If you know about it, and if I don't steal your time, it would be nice,
if you could send me some code examples. Else it will not break my neck.
Then I have to do a little, a bit ugly, workaround.
Thanks though for your answer

Re: Write temp- ile on tomcat

If your service is implemented within axis, then it is running as part
of the axis servlet. You can get the servlet context via the
MessageContext, and access paths within the webapp containing that
servlet. I think you get the HttpServletRequest from the
MessageContext, get the ServletContext from that request.
There is probably something tomcat-specific as well, but the above
will work in any servlet container.
