File URL

Question

Hi all!
I'm writing a servlet that writes a text file in the server and send its URL to the clients. The problem is that I don't know how to get the URL! How could I get it?

Maybe this method will help you :
     * Write the content of a URL page to a file system location - depreciated :
* see writeURLContentToFile(URL url, String fileSystemExportLocation)
     * @param request
     * @param url
     * @param fileSystemExportLocation
     * @throws IOException
     public static void writeURLContentToFile(HttpServletRequest request,
                                                  URL url,
                                                  String fileSystemExportLocation) throws IOException {
          String fileType = fileSystemExportLocation.substring(
                    fileSystemExportLocation.lastIndexOf('.')+1,
                    fileSystemExportLocation.length());
logger.debug("Enterring writeURLContentToFile method...");
          HttpURLConnection conn = WebUtils.openURL(request, url);
          BufferedInputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
          FileWriter out = new FileWriter(new File(fileSystemExportLocation));
          String line = "";
          while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) { 
          if (fileType.equals(WebConstants.TEXT_FILE_EXTENSION))
          out.write(WebUtils.mapHtmlToText(line));
          else if (fileType.equals(WebConstants.CSV_FILE_EXTENSION))
          out.write(WebUtils.mapHtmlToCsv(line));
          else
          out.write(line);
          in.close();
          out.close();
     }
