problem with getRealPath

[Janardhan Mudduluru]

Hi

I am using getRealPath in my application which is deployed in application server as war file.

getRealPath is returning null,So i am trying to use getResource here in lieu of getRealPath.

suggest me whether it is a correct approach or not?

and also is there any method to convert URL to String type.

Need Urgently.....

your Response will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Try this piece of code

Thanks Deepak and chandra for your quick responses....

i have solved this issue by removing getRealPath from my code.....in lieu i did use getResourceAsStream method directly without invoving getRealPath mehtod in between.

I am using this code in FrameWorkManager plugin provided by struts.

Thanks again

yours Janardhan.
