HI Malla,
Some Servers dont allow to get Real Path because they is some
virtual path concept & so it is always changing & so u have to hard code the
real path. If u dont want to then I will suggest u one trick.
Try putting the desired path in a properties file which your servlet can
pick up say on init. Now suppose even if the path changes (say because u
change ur Service Provider) You dont have to change ur Servlet!!.
Bye,
Jiger
