Hi,

I'm SeungHyun Choi and I have a question regarding the use of the 'java.io.File' class in an ARIS Report.

As you can see in the code below, I tried to use 'java.io.File' but it didn't work. On the other hand, I have seen another report that works correctly with the same code, but I cannot find any difference in the code itself.

I assume that to use the 'java.io.File' class, I might need to install a JAR file in a specific directory or change a setting.

Could you please offer any solutions?

Thanks :)

Hello SeungHyun,

please see the online documentation Report script changes

As of SR 28, ARIS report scripts are by default no longer allowed to access random Java classes or user-defined JARs for security reasons.

...

Because the use of java.io.File is no longer permitted due to its unrestricted access to the server's file system, it has been replaced by a report-provided File object.

Also in https://ariscommunity.com/users/christian-zanardi/2025-07-16-new-global-object-utilities-ioutils-file Klaus Bieg offers a way to work around pittfals.

Regards, Martin

Hello Martin,

First of all, I appreciate your reply to my query.

If you don’t mind, I would like to ask one more question.

My intention in using the java.io.File class was to create a new folder on my local PC. If I only needed to read or write text files, I could use the File object provided by the report environment, but I’m not sure whether I can also create a new folder from within an ARIS report (similar to using the Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut).

If your time permits, I would be grateful if you could also provide an answer to this part.

Thank you.
