RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

[Shapira, Yoav]

Howdy,
Use a ServletContextListener and load these things in the contextInitialized() method. 
 The ServletContextEvent has a reference to the ServletContext.

Re: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

[Cédric Viaud]

Or better than a servlet (wich can stop and re-start for many reasons on the
Servlet Container) use a "listener" if you use 2.3 servlet version. Easy to
implements, and certainly safer then using the init() method of a servlet.

See the servlet specification SRV.10.2

Hope it helps,

RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

[Tim Moore]

Instead of making the class static, you could load the properties from a servlet that 
runs when your web application starts up.

That way, it will still work if your web app is packaged as a WAR file. The path 
argument is context-relative.

Re: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

[Esteban González]

Hi,
What if I don´t have a way to access to any kind of ServletContext.?

Let´s say i have a static class that loads properties, but i want it to
use ServletContext.getResource(..). Unfortunately there´s no static method
around to the a reference to the servletContext.

any ideas?

Best regards,
Esteban

You should probably use ServletContext.getResource or
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResource(java.lang.String)

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)

That way, it will still work if your web app is packaged as a WAR file.

[Tim Moore]

You should probably use ServletContext.getResource or
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResource(java.lang.String)

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletConte
xt.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)

RE: How do I access files above and below \web-inf folder?

[Mehdi . Nejad]

I use the getRealPath,

String pathToPropsFile = config.getServletContext().getRealPath
("WEB-INF/properties/");

use "/", as this also works on win platforms, and does not need escaping.
You should be able to use a relative going up the tree, in the argument
("../foo/bar");

cheers,

Mehdi

[Reynir Hübner]

Hi...
things that come to mind...

What you mention as \web-inf is always uppercase WEB-INF (java is case sensitive).
The slash should be made with a java.io.File.seperator it's / in unix and \\ in 
windows. 
\web-inf will leave you with eb-inf as a single backslash \ is an escape char. 

Hope it helps
