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.

Re: Apache Tomcat - Access Files Outside Webroot
You might want to take this up with the Tomcat user's list, but let me offer some ideas. First, I'll second what Alan says: Read your Tomcat logs. Second, where is \docs? Inside your $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/MyApp directory? You can't rely on that directory being writable or even being there. Tomcat unpacks your war by default, but it can be set not to do so. Not unpacking is the default in some web servers. I suspect that Tomcat is not permitting you to copy to a subdirectory inside $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/MyApp for just that reason. If the user account that launches Tomcat can read C:\Storage, there's no reason you can't copy from there. I do this a lot. However I then use servlets to write the file to back to my user (into an IFRAME or new window). I don't copy it into a directory my webapp's tree and tell the browser to access it.
