Dear Servlet Users,
My Web application creates files; those files need to be served to clients. Where
would I write those files to, so that they can be served by the container?
I know about the attribute javax.servlet.context.tempdir, but apparently this
directory is not accessible to clients. I am unable to create a URL that would let
clients access files generated in that directory.
I read the servlet spec 2.2, and did not see any special provisions for this. It seems
as if Webapps are expected to serve only static files, or purely dynamic content
generated on the fly.
Reading the spec, I also get a feel that I'm not supposed to access the filesystem
directly, and write files wherever. What would be the most standard location to write
files that are served to clients by the container?
Thanks,
--Renaud
