I need to access xsl file inside the servlet.The xsl file is available inside the webapplication.I have used the following method for accessing the realpath of the file.
ServletContext.getRealPath(/../filename).

It's working fine in windows environment.When we moved the application to unix environment ServletCOntext.getRealPath is returning null.


Kindly help us in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance,

regards
ARaj

Is the content to which the path is refering is available as part of war file? If it is the case then this method will return null.

That will fail without quotes for the string.

ServletCOntext.getRealPath is returning null.


It's ServletContext, not ServletCOntext.
