This is probably a problem of naming. The easiest way to do it is to do this: String file=getServletContext().getRealPath(webpath); File f=new File(f); FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream(f); .... But you can also do it using: ServletContext.getResource(path); Both methods are well documented in the API docs. Check there for more details. Would you like to GPL your servlet when you've done it and have it released with the GNU-Paperclips servlet container? If so contact me privately.
