[Building Sakai] File in Sakai

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

This isn't Sakai specific. The javadocs for File.createTempFile() show this:

public static File createTempFile(String prefix,
                                  String suffix)
                           throws IOException
Creates an empty file in the default temporary-file directory, using the given prefix and suffix to generate its name. Invoking this method is equivalent to invokingcreateTempFile(prefix, suffix, null).

Parameters:
prefix - The prefix string to be used in generating the file's name; must be at least three characters long
suffix - The suffix string to be used in generating the file's name; may be null, in which case the suffix ".tmp" will be used

So the name is generated from the prefix and suffix. 

You can also give a third param which is the directory where the file is to be created, defaulting to the system temp dir if null, varies between platforms.

If you actually need to create files in Sakai, have a look at the ContentHostingService.

cheers,
Steve
