i agree with that..coz that's how i create/access my file resources. but i have this question because i haven't tried this one yet....
could it be possible to create/access a file resource outside the Tomcat container using getResource() or you really have to specify the absolute or relative path to where it resides? also, could my Servlet locate the classes/jars being set on the classpath environment variable without placing those classes/jar files inside the Tomcat container?
