[java] Saving Files To A Chosen Location Within Application Code

[modmouse]

Main.java
  public static void saveAsHandler() throws IOException, DishException
  {
    String fileName = StringIO.ask("file name: ");
    myMenu.saveAs(fileName);
  }

  public static void openHandler() throws IOException, DishException, ClassNotFoundException
  {
    String fileName = StringIO.ask("file name: ");
    myMenu.open(fileName);
  }
==========================
Menu.java
   public void saveAs (String aFilename) throws IOException
  {
    FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream (aFilename);
    ObjectOutputStream itemsFile = new ObjectOutputStream (outFile);
    itemsFile.writeObject(menu);
    itemsFile.writeObject(codes);
    itemsFile.close();
  }

  public void open (String aFilename) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
  {
    FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream (aFilename);
    ObjectInputStream itemsFile = new ObjectInputStream (inFile);
    menu = (Vector)itemsFile.readObject();
    codes = (Vector)itemsFile.readObject();
    itemsFile.close();
  }[/CODE]

At the moment files are saved in the same directory as the program has been run from but when I burn it to cd of course this is not possible.

I've seen examples but I cannot work out where things like

[CODE]("Z:\\results\\results.txt"); or ("z:\\results.txt"); or ("z:/results.txt");[/CODE]

are supposed to be placed to save a file created by the java application to a pre determined location. Or even one set by the user.

I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to ALWAYS save the file to "z:\results.txt"? Or do you want to user to select the location where it should be saved?
