Re: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

[Esteban Gonz�lez]

Hi,
    What if I don�t have a way to access to any kind of ServletContext.?

    Let�s say i have a static class that loads properties, but i want it to
use ServletContext.getResource(..). Unfortunately there�s no static method
around to the a reference to the servletContext.

    any ideas?

    Best regards,
    Esteban

You should probably use ServletContext.getResource or
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResource(java.lang.String)

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)

That way, it will still work if your web app is packaged as a WAR file.
The path argument is context-relative.
