i want to remove the hard coding

[dhanunjaya kumar]

i am reading data from a file using jsp.

FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream("c:/program files/tomcat/project/book1.txt");

i want to remove this path "C:/......." and i want to use relative path like "/book1.txt" it was not working.

Even i went for java.io.File.getPath();but i did not succeeded
i am getting the path upto "c:/program files/tomcat/bin"

In your JSP page try something like:

FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(application.getRealPath("/book1.txt"));
