This is a bit clunky, but it should do the job ...

        Properties env = new Properties();
        env.load(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("env").getInputStream());
        String webServHome = (String)env.get("CATALINA_HOME");
        String absPath =
            webServHome.concat("/webapps/axis/yourTargetDir/");

        // open file stream
        File filename     = new File(absPath, "test.xml");
        FileReader fis    = new FileReader(filename);
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fis);
        StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
        String inp;

        while (br.ready()) {
            buf.append((char) br.read());
        }

etc ...

Subject: Web Service reading file from disk

I am developing a test web service and I would like it to read a test input data file from disk.

I have successfully deployed my web service and have been able to access it via a client.

However, when I modify the code to read an input file, it cannot find the file and I get a

FileNotFoundException. I've tried putting the input file in various places including Tomcat/common/libs

Tomcat/webapps, Tomcat/webapps/axis, Tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-IN, Tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/classes,

Tomcat/webapps/axis/WEB-INF, ...

I'm using Tomcat 5.5.9 and Axis 1.2.1 on Windows 2000. Does anyone know if it is possible

to do this and if so, where I need to put the file? I'm not specifying a directory name in my code

when I try to open the file, but maybe I need to.

Thanks, Jan
