We are running Tomcat 6.0.20. The JDK is 1.6 but not the exact same version on all machines. My computer has 1.6.0.17, the server has 1.6.0.07 We are developing on both windows and mac. The server is ubuntu.
To specify what I want, here is a model of my filesystem: /Tomcat-folder /conf /webapps /my-webapp /WEB-INF /web.xml /my-folder <--- this is the folder I want to search If there is no specific way of solving this I can try the ones you have suggested. /Ludwig -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Morgan [mailto:joseph.mor...@ignitesales.com] Sent: den 23 november 2009 19:02 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Problems finding the right filepath Or... maybe within a initialization parameter for a servlet if you are using Java -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:chuck.caldar...@unisys.com] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 11:59 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Problems finding the right filepath > From: Ludwig Magnusson [mailto:lud...@itcatapult.com] > Subject: Problems finding the right filepath > > We are a team developing a webapp running on a tomcat server.

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.
