My dynamic web project on eclipse creates temp file in directory which is in "WebContent" folder(so the path to temp file "abc" is "myapp/tmp/abc").

But I can't access that file at runtime. I can access it only after I refresh directory "tmp" in eclipse. Is there any ability to access the temp files at runtime? (I completely new to java web dev)

Update: It seems that if I copy my project to my local Tomcat(which is not related with my IDE) or to server in the Internet - the errors disappear and everything works fine.

Your webapp shouldn't be accessing files from the filesystem – Software Engineer May 17 '16 at 20:37
initially it wasn't obvious to me, then I realized that it can lead some security issues – kurumkan May 18 '16 at 07:03
your temp file is under project directory OR server directory? – Sanjay May 18 '16 at 07:16
