relative path problem
This is a rather silly problem I have been putting off
and now I really need to fix it...
In my Struts app, bean classes are parsing and writing
XML files on disk. These files are currently being
pulled in using a full directory path! (i.e.
"/usr/local/...) Attempts to use relative paths (from
the location of the bean .class file) have not been
successful. In my view layer, JSPs can use relative
paths just fine. What's the trick?
thanks,
-bob

Not sure, but perhaps can you get the relative path by calling
java.lang.system.getProperty('prop_name')
not sure what the identifier for relative path is though..

That is my problem...how do you get the relative path
(in an action class)? Could you provide or point me
to some example code?
OR, even an example of using
'ApplicationResources.Properties' to read in a path
value would satisfy me.
thanks

try using an action that gets the relative path then pass that path to the
bean maybe

Re: relative path problem
Posted by Jeff Smith <je...@centralscheduling.net>.
I find that paths can be stated as absolute, from the root of my web-app.
So, for example, my style sheets are linked as:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/myappname/styles/default.css"/>
This seems to work, but it introduces a secondary problem. What if I change
the name of my app? I suppose I could always put the app-name as a constant
and reference it that way...
I have seen a couple of examples that use "./styles/default.css" so I am
assuming that works too. But I haven't actually tried changing my references
yet. That would solve my secondary problem as well as your initial one.
Hope that helps,
Jefficus
