file not found when calling execfile function

[Dave Patrick]

Hi,
I am trying to execute the following code from Java:

PythonInterpreter pyInter = new PythonInterpreter(); 
pyInter.execfile("SendGridEnvelope"); 

I have a python script called SendGridEnvelope.py that gets packaged in my WAR under WEB-INF/classes.

I keep getting a file not found exception because the execfile function is looking for the Python script under my Jboss/bin directory. I am using Jython by the way.

Does anyone know why the execfile method is looking for the python script in the Jboss/bin dir and how to change this?

Thanks,
David

'execfile(String arg0)' searches the current working directory, you need to specify the absolute path and I always add the extension (.py)...

you could open the file as a java.io.InputStream and pass it to 'execfile(InputStream arg0)'
