Hi all, first post here. I had a dickens of a time finding where Tomcat (5.5.9) was sticking my serialized object files (Java 1.5). When starting Tomcat on Win, it writes them to C:\WINDOWS\system32. When starting via command line (dbl-click tomcat5.exe), it puts them in the same dir (C:\Tomcat\bin).
Is there a good way to change the default path for a new File()? The docs seem to ambiguously state that the default is either the dir where the JRE was launched from, as well as System.getProperty("user.dir"). How about a better way to solve my problem? Add a new system property? Docs state that system property changes don't persist across application invocations. Keep the path to my custom serialized object location in my own settings file and read it? Or should I just forget the whole notion and stick with whatever the default is?
