They don't all do the same thing. Servlet.serverSidePath() returns the path of the servlet file, but Application.serverSidePath() returns the working dir that the appserver was launched from, and so forth. > 2.

It just gives you the working directory the appserver was launched from. - Geoff ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
