Hi, wen i checked the log file, i think the error might be in the line of the code. root = propFile.getProperty("app.directory"); This code should be able to download the files from the server. so i m using application.properties where app.directory="D:\\temp\\files\\" I doubt because of this line am i not able to run the appln. Pls let me know where should i place this application.properties file. Regards deepa Here is a code snnipet: String JAVA_HOME = "application.properties"; // Get a handle on the properties file try{ in = new FileInputStream(JAVA_HOME); propFile = new Properties(); propFile.load(in); } catch (IOException ignore){} separator = "/"; // Get the directory from the application.properties file // e.g. C:\\Temp\\Files\\ root = propFile.getProperty("app.directory"); Deepa }
