RE: Specifying default configuration file for Tomcat
Hi,
You're specifying the path to a file. Use the File.separator for your
system. On Unix, that / normally, and on windows \.

Re[2]: Specifying default configuration file for Tomcat
Posted by 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.

That helps. I don't remember it saying that in the documentation. I wasn't sure if I was specifying a resource or file path. Thank you for your help.
