Hi All,

I have a servlet application,part of which calls a file from my resources folder through a relative path; ie: resources/myfile.txt . When i compile and test it through junit all works well. The problem arises when i deploy in tomcat. The path it tries to read is d:\tomcat\bin\resources\myfile.txt!! why does it go and look for it there? is there a way, without making it absolute to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance
Nick F
 
That's what i did...and still it doesn't read from there!

my deployment is something like:

WAS
> WEB-INF
> classes
> resources
> com

!! Strange..

Thanks anyways
