Hi again,
Thanks for your help!
Though i'm still having trouble..since the file is being accessed from a
class not the servlet the ServletContext is not valid. Then i tried to print
out the following:
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("resources/myfile.xml").getPath().toString());
but still the result is : d:\tomcat\bin\resources\myfile.xml
If someone can give me a clearer idea it would be great..
Thanks once again
Nick
