I think you are not quite right. Where is said that EJB CAN'T access local file system?
"
� An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories
in the file system.
The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components
should use a resource manager API, such as
JDBC, to store data.
"
EJB spec 494
I'm sure you don't understand my idea. I have client-server application in which clients are PC's that are connected via Intranet to a server machine on which is running application server. I want to collect all log files created by log4j debugging on the clients in one place - the server machine. This is programme's feature - clients press the button and all log files are zipped and transported to the server. The only connection with server is the RMI connection which clients make with the application server. I'm not supposed to have FTP or else.
So here is the problem. How can I transfer these zipped files to the server ?
