Here's my problem, i'm trying to write a file on the hard disk
it's working fine when i execute the applet from JBuilder, the file is
writen on the disk in the base directory of my project and everythings are
fine.
when im executing the html page from jbuilder it save to jbuilder/bin and
its still fine
but the problem is when im loading the html containing the applet from IE
the file is not created and no messagedialog popup

here's my code :

String filename = "nameofthefile.txt";
try{
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(filename);
...
// File writing stuff
...
if(f.getChannel().isOpen()){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, null, "Valid",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}else{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, null, "Not Valid",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}
f.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,null,
e.getMessage(),JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

thanks for your help

Sam:

Your applet would send data to a server side widget (usually a servlet)
and the servlet would do the writing on the server as a normal Java program.

Ok thank you Rich, i've made that i'm now able to create a file on the
server using a servlet.
Now the question is : i'm sending a string containing line feed and cariage
return (the data is a png image) everythings fine until it get into the
servlet. the created file is missing every line feed and cariage return
caracters.

here's my code:

File f = new File("C:/path/to/file/picture.png");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(fos);
BufferedReader in = request.getReader();
String strChar;
while ((strChar = in.readLine())!= null){
dos.writeBytes(strChar);
}

i've tried writing char by char but i've got problem
char[] cChar={};
int nbChar = in.read(cChar);
nbChar is always 0.

if i could write exactly what is in the bufferedreader it would resolve my
problem but it keep skiping lf and cr.
Any idea on how to read from the buffer and then write in the file as it
really is?
Thx for your help !
