Alternative to Append Text to File

What happens when you try?

What happens when you try?

It doesn't produce an exception but it does not append the given text to the given file.

Did you already check tomcat-stdOut.log to see if there's any issue, error or exception listed there?  Did you check the target folder to verify that no new file was created?

Yes, checked the tomcat log, and there are no exceptions. The service is meant to append text to existing files, so it wouldn't create a new file.

in my case, I am indeed seeing NullPointerException in the application server log. There must be something wrong in the new version of the plugin.
