    Default Folder Creation On Shared Hosting Account

    Dear All,
    I am a newbie to Java Web Application development. I had created a small web-app in Java which allows a web-app client to create a folder with name of his/her choice on the server. This works fine locally on Tomcat but when deployed the same on our shared hosting account with godaddy I got exception as Access Denied

    Caught Exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission /var/chroot/home/content/b/r/i/bringlifeto/html/MyDemoDirApp/demodir/testdir write)

    For your reference here is the code snippets

    index.jsp


    # <html>
    # <head><title>Custom Directory Creation On Server</title></head>
    # <body>
    # <center>
    # <h1>Customized Directory Creation On Server</h1>
    # <form method="post" action="/MyDemoDirApp/UserDirDemo">
    # <table>
    # <tr>
    # <td>Enter Name For Your Directory</td>
    # <td> </td>
    # <td><input type="text" name="dirName" /></td>
    # </tr>
    # <tr>
    # <td><input type="submit" value="Create Directory"/></td>
    # <td> </td>
    # <td><input type="reset" value="Reset"/></td>
    # </tr>
    #
    # </table>
    # </form>
    # </center>
    # </body>
    # </html>


    UserDemoDir.java


    # import java.io.*;
    # import javax.servlet.http.*;
    # import javax.servlet.*;
    #
    # public class UserDirDemo
    # extends HttpServlet
    # {
    # public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    # throws ServletException,IOException
    # {
    # response.setContentType("text/html");
    # PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
    #
    # String param=request.getParameter("dirName");
    # //System.out.println("Param Value="+param);
    #
    # out.println("<html><head><title>Directory Creation On Server</title></head>");
    # out.println("<body><center>");
    # out.println("<h1>Directory Creation On Server</h1>");
    #
    # ServletContext servletContext=getServletContext();
    # out.println("<br><h3>servletContext: "+servletContext+"</h3>");
    #
    # String realPath=servletContext.getRealPath("/");
    # out.println("<br><h3>realPath: "+realPath+"</h3>");
    #
    # try
    # {
    # //File f=new File(realPath+"/images/testdir");
    # File f=new File(realPath+"/"+param+"/testdir");
    # f.mkdirs();
    # out.println("<br><h3>Absolute Path="+f.getPath()+"</h3>");
    # }
    # catch(Exception e)
    # {
    # out.println("<br><br><strong><i>Caught Exception:\n\t"+e+"</i></strong>");
    # out.close();
    # }
    # out.close();
    #
    # }
    # }


    Here I had used java.io package which is not correct as it is used for IO on the OS.

    Please Help

    Default

    Use code tags not bold tags when posting code.
    The directories you are trying to access either don't exist on the server or your program doesn't have access to them.
