I tried the following:
String tfilepath =
application.getRealPath("XML_Files")+tcustid+tsep+tordernumber+".xml";
but it appended "XML_FILES" to the file name, it did not write into the
directory XML_FILES!
Any idea, what am I doing wrong ?
Thanks

Subject: Re: getRealPath
you can hard code the file path like this
String tfilepath = application.getRealPath("XMLFiles");
but you can follow these tips to make it purely generic
? - "belief"
! - truth
? The file separator may not be /
! Use File.pathSeparator
? The current directory may not be where you expect.
! Ask the user to locate the file with a file dialog.
? Absolute paths may not begin with a file separator.
! Use the getCanonicalPath() method in the File class
? .. may not refer to the parent of the current directory
! use the getParent() method in the File class
? / may not be the root of the file system.
! Use File.listRoots() instead (Java 1.2)
? /tmp and /usr/tmp may not be real files
! Use File.createTempFile() instead (Java 1.2)
