I am simply trying to reference a file in web.xml under <context-param> using the notation: <param-name>myXSL</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/someXSL.xsl</param-value> </context-param> WSAD reads the file path however it cannot find the specified file. The top level dirctory where the IDE starts parsing is the drive letter, instead of the current project directory. How can I reference a file by pointing to the current contextRoot in web.xml? I didn't seem to have any problem in WSAD 4.03. Thanks much.
