Question

i have an upload java servlet that writes a file to temp directory
when running the code on windows it works fine, but when i run it on CentOS i get the below java.io.FileNotFoundException error. the servlet is not writing the file to /usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.26/temp . i tried setting every directory permission to rwxrwxrwx but still didnt work.
any idea what might be the problem?

9:51:07,555 ERROR DataUploadServlet:335 - /usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-7.0.26/temp/upload_7ac89b2c_136bc0fe17f__8000_00000003.tmp (No such file or directory)

Answer 1

i was using FileItem created by GWT gwtupload servlet which was causing the error. i created a temp file and copied the content of FileItem to my new temp file.

File file = File.createTempFile("upload-", ".xls");
item.write(file);
