Subject: Re: accessing files/dirs.....
thank you.. someone in another forum said the same thing.. problem is, if
I have trouble accessing directory, how will I tell these methods to "get
Resource" for that dir????? :)
(also, alas, don't quite remember how to use methods of interfaces --
since interfaces can't be instantiated, didn't find getInstance() method
for this interface.. but well, can look this up elsewhere, I
suppose....:)
thank you...

I'm not sure what you're attempting to do here, but have you thought
about ServletContext.getResource() and
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() ? Both are safe methods of reading
resources from the webapp whether it be in a compressed archive or not.
There is also getRealPath(), but it will only work if the webapp is
expanded (ie not a .war file).
I can't recommend it enough -- read the servlet spec. It really does
help.

this works fine in my machine locally, but on my website.. if, say,
I'm in dir where 'images' dir is, this doesn't work...
File dir = new File("images")
starting @ root of webapp also doesn't work...
File dir = new File("/india/delhi/images");
names of directors are good, they are all lowercase...
have conditional to test...
if (imgsList == null)
out.println("null");
always prints 'null' on my website...
do paths in this constructor have to be absolute? so on my website
path would have to start with "http..."?????
is this an access problem? if so, do I need to ask my webhosting folks?
I know this is not a very "kosher" way of doing it, but am running this
code in a JSP for now (still don't know enough struts and such to do
this kind of stuff in a stand-alone class.. but of course eventually
will have to.. all I want to do is count how many images are in
'images' dir.. that's it..)
thank you...
