无法将文件写入服务器

Question

I wrote the below code inorder to write an xml output to a file in my Tomcat Server. When I ran the code I get the below error. May I know what is wrong in my code. Thanks in advance. It is supposed to create a directory with name test and then the file test.xml in the path I specified in my server. But, it is not doing doing that and instead it is looking for that path in my local machine

java.io.FileNotFounException: C:\\test\\test.xml The system cannot find the path specified

   // write the content into xml file
                 TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                 Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
                 DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);

                 StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File("/test/test.xml"));
                 transformer.transform(source, result);

                 // Output to console for testing
                 StreamResult consoleResult = new StreamResult(System.out);
                 transformer.transform(source, consoleResult);

By default Tomcat set value of java.io.tmpdir system property to its tmp directory. So the following piece of code should create a File object pointing to a file in Tomcat tmp:

String tempDir = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir");
File outputFile = new File(tempDir, "test.xml");
