Re[2]: Specifying default configuration file for Tomcat

[Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>]

Hello Yoav,

That implies loading it via a File object which is not guaranteed to
work in a servlet environment because you can't control whether your
app is loaded off the filesystem or directly from a .war file.  Load
it as a resource, not as a file.

InputStream stream = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("foo.txt");

Or, just store it in WEB-INF and do:

InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/foo.txt");


That is portable in *all* cases.
