File input stream conflict from windows to linux?

[akoymakoy]

InputStream in=null;
OutputStream out = null;
String webDirectory=/usr/local/jakarta/apache-tomcat-5.5.25/webapps/LaCoronaHotel-ForTesting2/images

String src = c:\samplepic.jp g

in = new FileInputStream (src);
fileName="/packages.gif";

out = new FileOutputStrea m(webDirectory+ fileName);
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
in.close();
out.close();


This is a part of my method

it is a web application where in i browse for the new picture and replace it with the existing one located on "webDirecto ry" ...
when i try it on my pc where the "webDirecto ry" is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomc at 5.5\webapps\LaC oronaHotel

it works


but right after i upload it on my hosting where it is hosted in a linux computer it doesnt work.. i get no error logs, it just wont work any ideas?? anything i might have missed?
is it possible to change a file from a windows to linux?

Just make sure those pathnames are correct and that you have read and write
permission in the source and destination. Linux doesn't do anything mysterious
to those files nor to their content.

... and use relative file names. Read about ServletContext.

well i have 2 kinds of process one is that of the picture changing and the other is .txt

the .txt file is changing properly while that of the picture is not..

Well, then the path to your .txt file seems to be correct while the path to your
.jpg file happens to be incorrect.

out.close();


this is my code

the error log tells me that fileNotFound exception on the variable "src".
i dont get it since this file is something i used from this page:
<input type="file"name ="src">
when i use it on a windows based server it runs well but on the linux server it doesnt .

is there a particular something that i miss? or that i dont know of on linux?

If src points to c:\samplepic.jp g then you surely can't expect it to work on linux.

is there a way to copy this file to the linux directory?

How about reading about how to use relative file path names like I suggested above first?

since the programs aim is to change a particular picture:

i dont know how i will implement relative path names if i am to select a picture file from the windows directory. where do i put it?
note that the app is running on the linux server.
