Weblogic 9.2 : Specifying path of file generated from application

[Viral Shah]

We have a web application deployed on weblogic 9.2 as WAR file. ( Auto deploy)
For some functionality, the web application creates some files on the server. How to specify the path for the file to be created ?

For reading files we understand that getRealPath doesnt work and one has to use getResource.
But what is the equivalent solution to writing files where one needs to give some relative path to indicate where to create the file ?

Hi,

you can use an alias mapped on weblogic.xml to point to a static resources directory.

another thing you may use but I STRONGLY wouldn't recommend is enabling getRealPath to work under archived deploys but that goes against J2EE specification.

To do that:
Select your domain_name in domain tree under admin console, than select web application and the las check box will be to enable archived getRealPath.
