Hello,
I am developing a simple jsp page, and I would like to write in a
test.txt File on server (on which I publish the page) and test.txt is
writable for all.
I don't know the absolute path where my web application resides.
I don't found nothing with Google.

Thanks,
Paolo

application.getRealPath("/foobar.txt") will give you the real
path to http://yourserver/yourwebapp/foobar.txt !

I don't think this is a good solution.

You may not have write permission.

And it will not be multi user safe.
