Servlet not working...

Question

i'm running tomcat 4.0.1 on IIS and i haven't been able to get my servlet to work.
i'm thinking that it has something to do with where i am placing my servlet, or my directory structure.
my applet is run out of the directory "\\server\\wwwroot$\\testDir\\"
and my servlet is in the directory "\\server\\tomcat$\\webapps\\ROOT\\WEB-INF\\classes\\"
here is my applet code for calling the servlet....
try
URL url = new URL("http://www2.homepage.com/serlvet/servletOne");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
InputStream inputStreamFromServlet = conn.getInputStream();
catch(IOException io) { io.printStackTrace(); }
here is my servlet code....
public class servletOne extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
try
FileWriter f = new FileWriter("\\server\\wwwroot$\\testDir\\test2.htm");
f.write("testing");
f.flush();
f.close();
catch(IOException io) { io.printStackTrace(); }
the error i get when i try to run it is a FileNotFoundException.
i believe that this is the proper location for my servlet, but does the tomcat directory have to be within the wwwroot$ directory, in order for it to work?
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Andy

Answer 1

Seems that FileWriter cannot find test2.htm file. The path for FileWriter constructor can be any absolute system dependent path. So you can use "c:\\server\\wwwroot\\testDir\\test2.htm".
