Or hard-coded your fully-qualified file name in web.xml
<init-param>
<param-name>mytextfile</param-name>
<param-value>my.text.file</param-value>
</init-param>
Then get file name using getInitParameter("mytextfile") in your Servlet.

I think you can use context.getRealPath("/") to get root folder of current
webapp, then append your filename/relative path to this path. Never tried,
but think it works.

I am trying to create a jsp which invokes a Java application connecting to
a database using JDBC. That Java application requires reading data from a
text file which contains information about the JDBC driver, user name and
password. The problem is I don't know how to direct Tomcat so that it can
find the text file needed by the JDBC connection. Does anyone know how to
configure Tomcat so that it will find the text file?
