Re: Apache Tomcat - Access Files Outside Webroot

Hello Alan,

Thank you very much for your reply. My problem is solved.

Unfortunately Apache didn't wrote any exception on catalina.out log.
And yes, you were right, it was a problem of paths. Simply i didn't
create a new File with the absolute path of the destination location,
i was using only the "docs/filename.txt" assuming that the File classe
would recognize the full path "knowing" the location in the filesystem
of the app. With Eclipse/Jetty it works but with Apache Tomcat don't.

Once again, thanks for you help, you really convinced me that my
problem was related to paths (Like one friend induced me to). But in
the matteer of fact, the debbug was not easy, the debbug mode with
external server don't work in the server side in the peace of code
where i make this io operations (strange), and the System.out.println
don't show up in the catalina.stdout (strange to and yes, i have
compiled and deployed it on the Apache Tomcat with that modifications
twice).

Thanks,
João Cavaleiro.
