Hello. I'm new to the list and I have a very basic
question.
I'm having trouble with a servlet and I'd like to see
its output somewhere.
I've tried both opening a window and writing to a file
to no avail.
Upon catching an exception inside the servlet, I do
the following:
try
{
FileOutputStream newfile = new
FileOutputStream("exception.txt");
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(newfile);
String exceptionString = new String(ex.getMessage());
writer.println(exceptionString);
newfile.flush(); newfile.close();
}
catch(IOException E)
After running my servlet, it does catch the exception
generated and the file "exception.txt" is created.
However the file is empty. Why is this?
How can I output from a servlet to a console or a
properly-working file?
I'm running NT so my server has not been started from
a console. I probably need to open my own console
window.
I would also welcome any clues as to why the above
code for outputting the exception string to a file
does not work.
Please help.
Thanks
-Martin
