Ahh, one of my favourite problems. Here's two neat ways to get paths in
Java without hardcoding them:
* Get the location of "this" by doing
this.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().
This will give you the location of the class. Do this in the bean to
get the location of the beans class. I know you wanted the servlets
location, but maybe you can use this instead.
* I sometimes place "dummy" files in the classpath and do new
File(getClass().getResource("/dummy.tmp").getFile()).getParent(), which
gives me the directory where the dummy.tmp file has been placed within
the classpath. That way I can move the dummy file and the app will
automatically be "reconfigured" to use the new location.
HopeThisHelps :-)
