Howdy, The "default" location for files is the "current working directory" which is the directory from which the startup script is launched. Needless to say, relying on this is fragile at best. So you want to write your applet such that the location of the .ini file is a parameter, and pass your applet this parameter (preferably a URL obtained via ServletContext#getResource as opposed to a file IO mechanism).
