Hello,
"This method takes a filename. Since you've not provided a path to the
file, here, where did you put your file to ensure that it gets properly
loaded?" -> I have my file here WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties.
"What path are you using when you try to open the file? If you aren't
fully-specifying the path, then the path is relative. Relative to what?
Relative to the current working directory of the JVM process. What's the
CWD? It could be anything, though it tends to be either the CWD of the
parent process or CATALINA_BASE. You shouldn't have to worry about that,
though, because you should always fully-specify your file paths."
I was actually not specifing any path to open a file "text.txt" as i had it
under
WEB-INF/classes/test.txt, assuming my classes folder should be in classpath.
But you are right here - > "If you aren't
fully-specifying the path, then the path is relative. Relative to what?
Relative to the current working directory of the JVM process." which is the
bin folder of tomcat ofcourse.
So I started to use getRealPath("/"), not sure of the implications though.
Regards
jkv
