thanks for replying
i didn't make it very clear what the problem was!
i'll explain
i know where the class file is!
the problem is that in order for me to create a FileOutputStream, the servlet
needs to know where it is located.
to open the file, i'm using
settings.load((getClass()).getResourceAsStream("etc/settings.txt"));
where settings is a Properties type hashtable class
i need to save to etc/settings.txt
if i create a normal FileOutputStream, it will save it to where the jre is, so
i need to specify the full output path..
thats what i need to determine - the path of the servlet, so i can modify that
string to point to the settings file
thanks
