Hi,
If the path is exact with respect to root directory you don't have to do it.
But...
You use
file_location = this.getServletContext().getRealPath("file.y"); that gives
the full path on the system i.e.
/usr/webserver/x/file.y on solaris
and c:\webserver/x/file.y on WINDOWS
instead of
file_location = "/usr/webserver/x/file.y" on say solaris
file_location = "c:\webserver/x/file.y" on WINDOWS
witch means that you have to have different JSP code on different platforms.
If you use getRealPath() you only need to know where to put the file on each
system.
I used it when I needed to pass the location of a properties file to a bean.
