You can use getRealPath to get a physical mapping for a virtual path
ServletContext sc = ServletConfig.getServletContext() ;
sc.getRealPath();
You can use an existing virtual path or create a new virtual directory for your
user files.
If you do not want to use a virtual directory , you can parse the drive letter
from the getRealPath and append your folder name and users.txt to it.

Subject: Problem with the absolute path of a file
Hi all,
I use JavaWebServer2.0 to run my JSP pages.
I have a text file from which my JSP page reads from.
I use the RandomAccessFile object in java to read and
write into the file. The file is currently placed in
the "public_html" directory of the JavaWebServer.
My problem is that while opening the file I have to
specify the entire path as in :
file = new
RandomAccessFile("c:\\JavaWebServer2.0\\public_html\\users.txt","r");
Is there any way in which I can get rid of the entire
path and just specify "users.txt" as the path so that
the page will pick it up from there ? Is there any
predefined directory to keep the txt files ?
Please help as I require this to make my code
portable.
Thanks,
Seema
