Re: Weservice specific location for storing files ?

[Stephen Gordon]

I agree that a web-service specific location for storing files would be 
ideal for you, however I'm not sure there is any way of doing so.

An alternative is to read the information in the file some other way 
e.g. from a remote file-server, or maybe a database ??

Dear All,

Thank you Stephen, for you're input. 

I noticed that when I create a file without specifying a path, it goes
in the tomcat home folder. 

My problem now lies in the fact that in the course that I'm developping
there will be as much as 1000 webservices deployed on a central server.
Future students will test their webservice in a local tomcat/axis
environment first and later deploy it on this central server. Each
student will deploy a set of about 5 webservices, the set is the same
for all students. 

So what I need (I think) is a webservice specific location for storing
the file. It would be nice if it was possible to deploy this file with
the webservice so I do not have to send te file as a SOAP attachement
when the user switches from local to central server environment.
