[Donie Kelly <do...@tecnomen.ie>]

Have a look at ServletContext.getRealPath(virtualPath)

Might solve your problem....

Why not use an servlet init parameter in your web.xml? Your path is then
specified outside your code and you can easily update it.

Example:
  <servlet>
	<servlet-name>yourservlet</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>your.Servlet</servlet-class>
	<init-param>
	 <param-name>xml_dir</param-name>
	 <param-value>some/path</param-value>
	</init-param>
  </servlet>

Betreff: how to set the path to write files (on the server) from a
servlet



I'm using Tomcat 4.0 and Apache 1.3.22 and I've the following problem:
when my servlet writes an xml file, it goes in a system directory of NT, so
that I've to write the full path "C:\..." to write this file in the right
directory. It's a problem of course because the full path changes if I
change pc, hard disk and so on...
So, how should I set the path to write files in Tomcat ?
Thanks in advance...
