Hola ManPreet:

use the getRealPath() method of ServletContext this serves to obtain =
the
path of a file contained within a webapp, thus you can do :


FileReader fr=3Dnew
FileReader(this.getServletContext().getRealPath("/form.html"));

This method returns a String containing the real path for a given
virtual path. For example, the virtual path "/index.html" has a real
path of whatever file on the server's filesystem would be served by a
request for "/index.html".=20

Thislas is an excerpt of tomcat docs, hope this help.

Hi,

im writing a small servlet which opens a file.
I have added the following context path in the server.xml:

Context path=3D"/sam" docBase=3D"webapps/samsung" debug=3D"0"
reloadable=3D"true"
/Context

The code that opens a file is as follows:
FileReader fr=3Dnew FileReader("form.html");

Te file is placed in
/usr/local/jakarta-home/dist/tomcat/webapps/samsung/ directory.

when i run the servlet in the following way :
http://mydomain.com/sam/myservlet=20
it gives the file not found exception.
I have tried putting the file in all directories from webapps onwards.

Any help is appreciated .
Thanks,
Manpreet.
