Hi,
Thank You for your help. I copied db.cfg to <app-root>/WEB-INF/classes/.
My browser says "You don't have permission to access /WEB-INF/classes/
on this server", when I use URL http://<virtual_host_name>/WEB-INF/classes/.
But I am able to access it from my browser by using
http://<virtual_host_name>/WEB-INF/classes/db.cfg. The browser displaying
all
the contents of the file. Any guess?.
--thanx
Venkat
