So where exactly is your "resources/myFile.xml"? Is it in the
WEB-INF/classes directory of your webapp or a jar file in WEB-INF/lib?
Your method of access requires it be in one of those two places.

Hi All,
I'm having trouble when deploying my WAR application. The War file
contains
mainly the WEB.xml, and index.html file and a number of required
libraries,
incudling the compiled src code i've written, All libraries are stored
within the WEB-INF/libs which is correct. Along the libraries i have a
folder called resources, which have a number of files used as properties
files.
The problem is that when i'm trying to access these files (property
files)
i'm givin a 'Not found' error, and mainly this is due to the fact that
its
looking in the bin folder of tomcat as its classpath!
I'm accesing these files using relative paths ie: /resources/config.xml
How can i fix this problem? any ideas would really be appreciated!
thanks in advance
Nick
What you are seeing with it referencing the bin directory is it
accessing the directory tomcat was started from. Depending on the
script, that can be virtually anywhere in the system.
The servlet API provides ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(
webappRelPath ) for reading files in the webapp. If you placed the
properties files in either WEB-INF/classes or a .jar file, you should
also be able to do it with a Class.getResourceAsStream() method.

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
