jsp/servlet reading directory

Hi,
I'm creating a web page that reads a directory using either servlets or jsp. I know how to read a directory using command line java, but how do I read a directory (file names) using either a servlet, or jsp. Thanks

Hi,
It's pretty much the same thing as what you did with the command line.
Create an instance of java.io.File on a particular directory and then call its list() or listFiles() method.

... and this is a useful way of getting the actual (local) path that is equivalent to a specific URI.
String realPath = pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath(uri);
File f = new File(realPath);
[where uri is something like "/index.html", "/WEB-INF/myconfig.xml", etc]
This is useful as it stops the need to reference local files in your webapp as (for example) c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\webapps\mywebapp\...

I'm still having problems. I have a program that works from the command line, but how to you convert from the use of the "String[] args" in main?
