Hi, Thanks for all the help/suggestions! ;-)
I managed to eventually figure it out as follows: public Map act(Redirector redirector, SourceResolver resolver, Map objectModel, String source, Parameters params) throws Exception { Context context = ObjectModelHelper.getContext(objectModel); String fileName = context.getRealPath("/myfile.xsd"); HTH someone else in the future...

I have the following: public Map act(Redirector redirector, SourceResolver resolver, Map objectModel, String source, Parameters params) throws Exception { Request request = (Request) objectModel.get(Constants.REQUEST_OBJECT); // this is deprecated??? And from in here I need to open the URL http://localhost:8080/myfile.xsd as a file using java.io.File - so I need some way to get the conetxt and the real path of the file. String fileName = ??????.getServletContext().getRealPath("/myfile.xsd"); I trawled the API but without success. TIA for any ideas.
