i need a servlet to write and periodically append/modify files (*.txt and *.xml) to a location on the server, based on input from the client side. can jsp or servlets do this, or can a servlet call another java file to do it?

sure. this works on my machine running jswdk 1.0.1. use this html file

to call this servlet

to add another line of text to the created file, use this html

to call this servlet

which imports this class

you can have all the neccessary code in the servlet, but i was experimenting with calling other classes from a servlet, so that's how this one is. hope this helps.
