The servlet container will have already created a temporary directory for you ... one option would be to use that one: File tempDir = (File) getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir"); File tempFile = new File(tempDir, "myfilename.tmp"); (Documented in section SRV.3.7.1 in the servlet spec.)
