Examine your Java properties:
// Code not compiled before posted, so typos are possible and unintentional
//
public class PropsServlet
extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(...)
{
// List all Java system properties to the browser
//
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
System.getProperties().list(out);
// Use "getProperties().getProperty()" to retrieve one by key
//
String javaClasspath =
System.getProperties().getProperty("java.class.path");
}
}
You can use java.home or something similar to use as the "starting point" of
your relative path.

Subject: Servlet Local File Access
>Hi all,
>
>I wrote a class that will open a static HTML file and return
>the <BODY> portion in various formats. The idea is that a
>servlet could use this class to get all or a portion of it's
>content from static HTML files.
>
>This works, but only if I provide the full path on the local
>file system where the servlet resides. This of course won't
>get it. The static HTML files will always be in a
>subdirectory of where the servlet that accesses them resides
>(i.e. /myServletDir/contentDir).
>
>How can I determine where the servlet was actually loaded so
>that I can access the files in the "content" subdir by a
>relative pathname? Can I get this information from the class
>loader somehow?
>
>Apologize if this is a dumb question. I checked
>the SERVLET-INTEREST archives but couldn't find the answer
>there
>
>thanx in advance,
>Kevin
