In the context of a servlet, where would I place userconfig.xml file relative to the webapps dir, and what path would I use to retrieve the file. According to java.io API JavaDoc file, a relative path is relative to the user's home dir. Would I actually have to say:
File file = new File("c:\tomcat4\webapps\soap\WEB-INF\userconfig.xml") or something like: File file = new File("userconfig.xml") Any ideas? I need the config file because it has font info in it. -- David B. Bitton [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.codenoevil.com Diversa ab illis virtute valemus. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter B.
