Hi Neha, You can basically put it wherever you want because your servlet can get direct file system access (I'm not sure this is true if deployed in an EAR, but I guess that's not an option here anyway).
Where it *makes sense* to put it is up to you... if it's something specific to the webapp then it probably makes sense to put it somewhere in the webapp's directory structure, but if it's more a shared data type thing, it might make sense outside the webapp. Take a look here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/javawebparts/javawebparts/WEB-INF/src/javawebparts/servlet/TextReturnerServlet.java?view=markup Scroll down to the init() method and see how it gets an InputStream to the itemsFile. This is how you can do it context-relative. If you want to go to something outside the webapp, take a look at ServletContest.getRealPath(). -- Frank W.
