opening a file in web-inf

[Johnny Gara]

I'm trying to open a config file that's located in web-inf/config/config.xml and was wondering what the best way to do so is.

Is it possible to open this file using classloaders? Or can you simple just try to open a stream to /web-inf/config/config.xml in your war file?

thanks

It's WEB-INF, not web-inf.

ServletContext.getResourceAsStream()

ah, you are correct, thanks Bear

for completeness, the correct call would be

ServletContext.getResourceAsStream( "/WEB-INF/conf/config.xml");
