I am trying to delete a file from server side of applet, using ( for now)
the applet viewer only.
Cannot do it, Question is why?
private boolean file_delete() {
boolean ret_value;
ret_value=true;
String fname= new String();
try {
fname=table_diff.getString("TABLE_NAME") ; // returns
"MAKES"
String fpath= this.getCodeBase().getFile();
String full_name=fname+".sql" ;
File script= new File(fpath,full_name);
if (script.exists()) {
try {script.delete();} //
always fails
catch (SecurityException se){
ErrorMessage(se.getMessage().trim()); // Custom error
message
return false; }
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
ErrorMessage(e.getMessage()); // Custom error message
return false;
}
return ret_value;
}
the error message is always null, file always exists
the path to the file in debugger worries me
it is "/\\\C:\Jbuilder2\myclasses/\MAKES.sql",
but exists() function finds it, so why I cannot delete a file with this path
and
why the SecurityException message is always null.
Thanks in advance.
