If you need a permanent local directory, I prefer to use a JNDI string lookup (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html) to the name of the directory. This way I don't need to change my web.xml on my development box vs qna vs production.

Hi,
I'm trying to access a "file respository" (for read and write of files) from my servlet. I was wondering what's the best way to do this in a container/platform-independent manner?
Is it possible without putting an "init" param in the web.xml that specifies my repository's directory or hard coding it into my servlet?
I noticed the servlet 2.3 api has ServletContext.getResource(path) but it doesn't return a path to a local file directory that I'm interested in. :(
