You probably should have said this in your first message ;-)
Without the code, it is difficult to answer exactly. I guess that you are
using the default path. The default path is of course not the same when you
call the start method from a servlet. You should probably check what is the
default path with your container. For example, with Tomcat 3.1, the default
path is <TOMCAT_HOME>/bin. But you probably shouldn't be using this.
Instead, get the document root path from your servlet with getRealPath(),
using whatever relative path you need as an argument. Or, use an absolute
path.
