Hi, You can use "ServletContext.getResource and then parse The returned URL" to overcome this kind of issues.

I'm writing my first SOAP service using Apache SOAP. I've run into a problem I can't find a solution for after a lot of searching. I want my service to pull some settings from a text file which is in the same folder as the service classes but if I use just the file name I get a fileNotFoundException. I've established that the file is being looked for in the tomcat bin folder instead of the folder where the classes are. I want to avoid using a hardcoded absolute path. A similar problem in my jsp pages I solved using workingDir = pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath(request.getServletPath()); Can I do something similar in a soap service class or is there any good way to do what I want. Thanks Con
