Title: Unsafe path ?

Hi all

From within a servlet I am trying to read a file in the following way
    getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(getInitParameter("envFile"));

When the parameter envFile has the value /WEB-INF/../../env.xml   
I am getting the following message from Tomcat:
    Unsafe path D:\Jupiter\tomcat\webapps\dir1\dir2\dir3 /WEB-INF/../../env.xml   

Any ideas why is that?

Interestingly, when the parameter envFile has the value /WEB-INF/../env.xml   
Tomcat has no problems reading the file.

This is on Tomcat 3.2/Wintel.

TIA
