Hello,
I am running Tomcat 4.1 on Windows 2000 as a service.
I have written a JSP page where in I am trying to read an XML. If I try
to access the file using absolute path, for eg. "c:\abc\xyz.xml", the page
works without any problem. But if i try to access it thru relative path, for
eg. "../data/xyz.xml", the tomcat will throw a FileNotFoundException saying
that xyz.xml doesnt exist in SYSTEM-ROOT\System32 dir.
The reason behind this is that the JSP is tring to access the file from
where JVM was started according to Java Documentation, ie
SYSTEM-ROOT\System32 directory where the Service Control Manager starts the
Tomcat service which in turn starts the JVM.
So the question is, is there any other way I can use a relative path
inside my application to access a file? (I dont want to use absolute path as
my application has to be distributed in many places).
Thanks in advance...
Warm Regards,
Harsha Yalagach
