I have a webapp that stores some data in an xml file. (I am using jdom to
read and write the xml files.)
Right now I am using a construct like:
String prefix = sc.getRealPath("/") + "/WEB-INF/dirName/";
to get the path. I then concatonate that with the file name and it works
fine.
However, in the javadocs for javax.servlet I read:
"This method returns null if the servlet container cannot translate the
virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is
being made available from a .war archive)."
I am not exactly sure what this means. If I deploy this application as a
.war, does the sc.getRealPath stop working?
Thanks
