hi Sohaila,
for your first question, you need to do the configuration
programmatically which
means you must be the one that would specify the right path to your
File...by default Tomcat
puts the file on its bin directory so in order that it would be in
the context of your web application
try placing this as the path:
String sPath = this.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
this would return the complete path to your web application. then you
can just add additional
path from the result above.
ex. if you want your file to be in /webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/myFiles
then do this:
File oFile = new File (sPath + File.separatorChar + "WEB-INF" +
File.separatorChar +
"myFiles" + "yourFile.txt");
hope this helps.
