I have a class that is called by the servlet to write to a file in the specified directory that is not public_html and the file doesn't get written. What could be the possible cause. I tried chmod 777 for all the directory that the file will be written in.

Thank you,
Priowan

Hi,

Are you sure that the 'tomcat user' (the user that own the tomcat process) has the priviledge to write outside that directory?

Writing to a file should be as easy as using File to open and FileWriter or BufferedWriter to write. What is the exception or problem you are getting? I don't think there is anything in the servlet spec. to prevent writing of files.
