servlet document root 1

[MrTom]

where can i get the document root for a servlet? i just want to load 'test.txt' without having to specify a full path but no matter where i put test.txt it never finds it.

correct me if i am wrong, are u referring to

path = getServletConfig.getServletContext.getRealPath("/"
File f = new File(path+"file"

retrieve the file if file is at eg

http://localhost/file

or

InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("filename"

retrieve the file if file is at the same directory as the servlet

 

[MrTom]

ah yes!

(can you tell i don't know wot i'm doing?

thanks
