Or... maybe within a initialization parameter for a servlet if you are using Java

Can you let the DefaultServlet do it? Directory listings are normally disabled, but you can enable them for your particular webapp if you wish Note that there is no requirement for a servlet container (e.g., Tomcat) to provide *any* access to the underlying file system (if there is one at all), other than to a scratch area for the webapp's internal use. If your webapp is deployed as a .war file, there is no file structure to look at. > Is this solvable through some IO-function or do we need > to specify the path to our project in each environment? You will likely need to specify the path through an environment variable, Java system property, or within the webapp <Context> element, via a nested <Parameter> or <Environment> setting. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
