<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>1) To be truthful, it's JBoss EWP 5.1 not the community edition (I didn't think that it might be a version specific issue, hence asking here. I do have a question out to our reseller as well). Win 7. Java 6 update 23.</p><p>2) I'm starting it on the command line.</p><p>3) JBoss is being run as myself (chris.williams). If I start it as an Administrator, then it's run as my Admin account.</p><p>4) There is no exception since java.io.File.delete() just returns a boolean rather than throwing an exception.</p><p>5) -></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>                    String resFolder = getInitParameter("resources.folder");</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>                    if (request.getParameter("page_action") != null) {</p><p>                              if (request.getParameter("page_action").compareTo("delete") == 0) { </p><p>                                        File f = new File(resFolder + request.getParameter("filename"));</p><p>                                        if (!f.delete()) {</p><p>                                                  ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();</p><p>                                                  out.print("Couldn't delete");</p><p>                                                  out.close();</p><p>                                                  return;</p><p>                                        }</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>                                        response.sendRedirect("Resources.html");</p><p>                                        return;</p><p>                              }</p><p>                    }</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>6) Yes, a standalone application is able to delete from the target folder, even while JBoss is still running. I also tried setting the scan folder for the servlet to C:\ and was able to delete a file there, just not a file from the target folder.</p></div>
