Hi Josh,
I tried your second approach:
requestGlobals.getHTTPServletRequest().getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("app")
it returns : /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/webapps/my_app_context/app
but I checked the running program, the file is here
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/info.xml
if I set the application context to "/", i got
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.23/webapps/app and the file still in the same
place, seems difficult to link the real path to the actual WEB-INF, any
idea? Thanks,
A.C.
