Some advice on getting webapp-root and reading/writing
Hello.
Does anyone have some advice to give me on the following ideas?
My first problem is to find the correct path to my files.
Is there a method to get the "document-root" of my webapp, so I only need to
append "Images/jpg" and "WEB-INF/settings" to the path?
I suppose using URL's is the most platform independent method?
Example:
My webapp is located in "/var/www/waTest/WEB-INF/",
and the JPG's are in "/var/www/waTest/Images/jpg/".
Finally the XML's are located in "/var/www/waTest/WEB-INF/settings/".
The second problem is how to read/write the files, should I use FileReader
or is there a better solution for webapps?
TIA
/ju

What you need is here:
1. In javax.servlet.HttpServletRequest you'll find getContextPath()
2. In javax.servlet.ServletContext there's a method
getResourceAsStream()
