Hi there, I have been reading about ways to get Tomcat to write to a file. Basically I need to write a file, that only needs to be available while tomcat is running. It is used by a background process to dynamically configure itself, depending on what configuration tomcat is running on at that time. When tomcat shuts down it will delete this file, thus indicating to the background process to shut down also. My problem is, that in Linux I cannot just write to the /tmp directory. Is the javax.servlet.context.tempdir attribute set to a defualt of some kind or do I have to set it myself. If it is set to a default, how do I access it getServletContext().getAttributr("javax.servlet.context.tempdir") returns null. If I ahve to set it, what permission to I have to give the directory it is to be?
