problem about path in JSP and Bean

[Joe Blant]

Hi all,

my web application contain jsp and support class(Bean).

in jsp i use BeanClass,
in BeanClass, some function read file content just like new File("/resource/file1.txt");
i put BeanClass.class in /WEB-INF/classes folder and jsp file under application context(/).

when i call BeanClass's function from jsp FileNotFound Exception occurs and it search file under %tomcat_directory%\webapps\resource\file1.txt even though i expected the path will be /my_context/resource/file1.txt


I'd like to know that how to point path relatively in BeanClass. I dont want to pass realPath from jsp to the bean. how can Bean will point dependently to the certain file location.


thanks,
kaze

Try getResourceAsStream(String path) method in ServletContext rather than using new File().

The path expected by this method is the relative path, so /resource/<filename> should work fine.

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

"Kami Kaze", My request that you change your display name to adhere to JavaRanch standards was not a suggestion. Valid display names are mandatory for participation on the Ranch. Please change your display name as instructed prior to your next post.

Be aware that accounts with invalid display names are removed.
