file access on server - please help

[Divyajot Ahluwalia]

Dear All,
I need a little help with uploading my jsp application.
i am using webappcabarets services in tomcat3.1
i am using a connectionbroker from javaexchange.
the application works perfectly when used on development machine.
the constructor of the connection broker requires the name of a file to write its log. when i specifya file i get an exception which says something like this
access denied (java.io.FilePermission
/WEB-INF/servinglog.txt write)
java.security.AccessControlException: access
denied (java.io.FilePermission
/WEB-INF/servinglog.txt write)
apparently there is something about the server sandbox preventing write access to the file...
how do i overcome this proble..
Please help
Thanks Divyajot

I had the same problem. You need to use:
Strong path=application.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/");
to locate the file. Read their help, please!
Thanks!
