this may be tomcat question more than a zk question, but I would appreciate anyone's help. I am getting an xlsx file from elsewhere on server and downloading it from apache/cgi to zk zss using the code below (see downloadReportFile(),getBinFile()). It works fine but I notice when I run the server on my pc out of eclipse the file ends up being written in c:/eclipse-top-dir . When I run it on the unix server I can't find where it's being written but I assume it's also a common area. Is there a recommended way to keep temp files like this so that the files don't get written to by two sessions simultaneously (other than by using unique filename).
