LoadingProblem of a TextFile in WebApp! 1

[flowingmind]

hi !
Want to load a txt-File in a WebApp with FileInputStream
using a relative path. But the file is not found .
Where do I have to place it in the directory of my WebApp?
And what then is the relative path to it?

thx dirk

You can obtain a file system path for the context root of you webapp like this :

<%

ServletContext sc = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
String path = sc.getRealPath("/");
out.println(path);

%>

Oh I made amistake and redflagged the post from sedj.

The Answer didn't help me.
i wan't to load the file not from a jsp-pages.
Using Struts I want to load from a class which is instanciated in an ActionClass while performing the execute()-method.

thx and sorry for the redflag (i understood wrong )

Well, you didn;t say you were doing it from Struts ...

In any case, the procedure is similar using Struts ...

// where request is your HttpServletRequest object from the Action classes's execute() method ...
ServletContext sc = request.getSession().getServletContext();
String path = sc.getRealPath("/");
