Title: RE: Servlet jar files

You mean that you deploy servlets on customers machines? I'm not sure how easy it is to access files outside of the WAR file. I suspect you'd have to edit the tomcat.policy file to relax the security sandbox that servlets run it. Byd efault I don't think you can access anything outside the servlets web context. Alternatively you could deply the webapp unpacked (e.g. not use the WAR file). As far as I can see the only benifits of using a .WAR file is it looks a little neater, hides some of the internals and makes deployment a little easier.   sam ----- Original Message ----- From: Rida Ligurs To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 1:56 PM Subject: RE: Servlet jar files I was also thinking of using WAR files, but didn't know where to put my properties files.  I don't think I wan't them in the WAR because the customer will need to edit them.  Where should they go?
