You might want to look at the ServletContext methods getRealPath, getResource, and getResourceAsStream, and some related ones. Also, since you're new to servlets, it might be a good idea to browse through the servlet API to get an idea what's available. It's all available online at: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/index.html And of course, a good servlets book is helpful as well (e.g. Jason Hunter's or Marty Hall's).
