PrintWriter not working java web service

Question

I have a java project with threads which writes info in a log file. What i was doing was the following:

create the file when creating a Process( PrintWriter file its an attribute):

public Process(int id){
        id_proc= id;
        try {
            file=new PrintWriter("log_acuerdo_" + this.id_proc +".txt");
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Then, when i wanted to write something in it:

file.println("P0" + msj.emisor + " " + msj.id);

Then, after all threads were done writing i did this:

for(int i=0; i<cant_proc; i++)
    ((Process)procesos[i]).file.close();

This was working perfectly fine. Then, i wanted to change the project and use REST instead, i mean, web services. The whole project is working ok, except it's not creating any file or nothing is being written.

Any idea why?

If you're using REST, then your files are being created inside your eclipse folder. Take a look there. There are a bunch of other folders like 'p2', 'configuration', 'readme' and other stuff.
