RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?
Hi... things that come to mind... What you mention as \web-inf is always uppercase WEB-INF (java is case sensitive). The slash should be made with a java.io.File.seperator it's / in unix and \\ in windows. \web-inf will leave you with eb-inf as a single backslash \ is an escape char.

How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder from a JSP/html file that is above the \web-inf folder ? I am now using getRealpath() in my jsp code, but it did not work. Any ideas?

RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?
I use the getRealPath, String pathToPropsFile = config.getServletContext().getRealPath (WEB-INF/properties/); use /, as this also works on win platforms, and does not need escaping. You should be able to use a relative going up the tree, in the argument (../foo/bar); cheers, Mehdi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should probably use ServletContext.getResource or ServletContext.getResourceAsStream http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte xt.html#getResource(java.lang.String) http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte xt.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String) That way, it will still work if your web app is packaged as a WAR file. The path argument is context-relative. -- Tim Moore / Blackboard Inc. / Software Engineer 1899 L Street, NW / 5th Floor / Washington, DC 20036 Phone 202-463-4860 ext. 258 / Fax 202-463-4863 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 5:06 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

Re: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?
Hi, What if I don´t have a way to access to any kind of ServletContext.? Let´s say i have a static class that loads properties, but i want it to use ServletContext.getResource(..). Unfortunately there´s no static method around to the a reference to the servletContext. any ideas?

Instead of making the class static, you could load the properties from a servlet that runs when your web application starts up. -- Tim Moore / Blackboard Inc. / Software Engineer 1899 L Street, NW / 5th Floor / Washington, DC 20036 Phone 202-463-4860 ext. 258 / Fax 202-463-4863 -Original Message- From: Esteban González [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 11:38 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

Re: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?
Or better than a servlet (wich can stop and re-start for many reasons on the Servlet Container) use a listener if you use 2.3 servlet version. Easy to implements, and certainly safer then using the init() method of a servlet. See the servlet specification SRV.10.2 Hope it helps, Cédric - Original Message - From: Tim Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Esteban González [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 5:45 PM Subject: RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?
Howdy, Use a ServletContextListener and load these things in the contextInitialized() method. The ServletContextEvent has a reference to the ServletContext.
