Subject: simple desparate query. Please help.
> Hello all,
>
> I have developed an e-commerce application for a customer based almost
> entirely on servlets. It was developed on an Intranet using
> JavaWebserver1.1.3.
>
> A couple of servlets have to load the contents of textfiles (flatfiles)
in
> order to operate correctly.
> Now, on JWS, with the absence of a path, the servlets would look for these
> files in the install directory (or server-root).
>
> The problem arises with the hosting account I have. They have set out the
> following structure:
>
> - homedirectory - wwwdirectory (html)
> - fls (contains the flatfiles)
> - graphics
> - servlets
>
> The home directory is write-protected. Using a path in the servlets of
> ../wwwdirectory/fls/textfile.txt to locate the text files does not work.
>
> I was wondering whether anyone can tell me why this does not work.
> Does the path have to be taken with reference to the server-root or the
> servlets directory?
> Would it be acceptable to keep the flatfiles in the servlets directory and
> if so, what would the path be?
>
> Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
