Hey man,

You posted this in the wrong forum (sure JSP is Java still though). But go to the forum under "Web Development > JSP", you'll get your answers there faster.

I don't think saving files in a deployment directory would be a good idea. Two solutions come to mind:

• Use a persistent storage solution like a database (e.g. SQLite) or some other NoSQL solution like Cassandra
• If you want to go for a simpler file system based solution, read the STORAGE_PATH system property (specified by -D switch when starting the JVM) in the ServletContextListener, store it in the ServletContext and whenever you want to store a file (for e.g. in your servlet), just do:

final String storagePath =
  new File(context.getAttribute("STORAGE_PATH").toString());
final String file = new File(storagePath, 'song.mp3');
// write to file and it will be saved to the path denoted by the
// STORAGE_PATH system property
