Why would lift interfere with file io? Resource server is probably for static http. If you're getting file not found I can't imagine it's lift's fault. Try dumping new java.io.File(.).listFiles() or .getAbsolutePath etc. to see what directory is the default. What kind of server are you using?

If you need to get the absolute path where the exploded war is living, you can get that via ServletContext I do believe. Generally speaking, Lift provides no mechanism for writing stuff to the filesystem and does not interfere with file i/o. Cheers, Tim On Jul 5, 9:15 pm, Naftoli Gugenhem

The broader issue is that how a WAR file is exploded (converted from WAR/Zip format to an on-disk representation) is a servlet-container specific issue. Putting an XML file in your WAR and reading from it is totally cool. The abstraction that Marius pointed to is the correct one... and more
