I have a servlet and I can not get it to write to the local file system.
I have created a File (f) and a FileWriter (fw) but calling f.canWrite() returns false. Is there some security issues at play here and how can I overcome them?
code is something like this...
File f = new File("/tmp/myfile.txt");
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
if (f.canWrite())
fw.write("hello World");
else
System.err.println("Can't Write to file");
Any help is much appreciated...
