"Re: Give permission to write to a folder?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/583723#583723 -------------------------------------------------------------- 1) To be truthful, it's JBoss EWP 5.1 not the community edition (I didn't think that it might be a version specific issue, hence asking here. I do have a question out to our reseller as well). Win 7. Java 6 update 23. 2) I'm starting it on the command line. 3) JBoss is being run as myself (chris.williams). If I start it as an Administrator, then it's run as my Admin account. 4) There is no exception since java.io.File.delete() just returns a boolean rather than throwing an exception. 5) -> String resFolder = getInitParameter("resources.folder"); if (request.getParameter("page_action") != null) { if (request.getParameter("page_action").compareTo("delete") == 0) { File f = new File(resFolder + request.getParameter("filename")); if (!f.delete()) { ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); out.print("Couldn't delete"); out.close(); return; } response.sendRedirect("Resources.html"); return; } } 6) Yes, a standalone application is able to delete from the target folder, even while JBoss is still running. I also tried setting the scan folder for the servlet to C:\ and was able to delete a file there, just not a file from the target folder. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/583723#583723] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&containerType=14&container=2075]
