Simon, You should load this resource using the Class object. Take a look at the following:

What I am trying to do is read in a .xml file from the classes/resources directory in an Action class and then to load a bean with it's contents. I have had a look at the ResourceBundle class, but I can't see if that would be of any use to me. Any thoughts?? Cheers, and thanks again, Simon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arnesen, Geir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 3:44 PM Subject: SV: Getting the full path of the context from within an Action class If you ned the path for the WEB-INF, - use a servlet, - which is loaded before the struts, by configuring it in the WEB.XML. In the servlet you execute... public static String directory = getServletContext().getRealPath("conf"); This returns the physical location of the WEB-INF. You get the location from the action classes by accessing the servlet' static variable.

I am looking at either using mapping.getPath() or request.getContextPath() Are either of these going to give me an absolute (ie C:\xxx\yyy\WEB-INF\) path to the context on the local machine? Or will it be a relative URL? Cheers Simon Institut fuer Prozessdatenverarbeitung und Elektronik, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, Postfach 3640, D-76021 Karlsruhe, Germany.
