Hi,
I am using a Tomcat4.1...This is the problem that I am facing:
I have a exe which is to be run by the servlet.The exe uses the files in the current directory and generates files in the current directory. But I have no idea which is the current directory from which the servlet is executed.
I tried placing them in the WEB-INF\Classes....But I guess thats not the current dir from which the servlet runs...
Can some one help me out with this..
Thanks,
Bharath

There is no concept of a current diretory in web apps.
Search this forum for uses of the methods getRealPath and getResourceAsStream methods. One of these should be able to help you out.

If you are using the Runtime.exec() method to execute this program then you could use the version that allows you to specify its current working directory.
