This is slightly off-topic, but in Tomcat, how do I access a file (from within a servlet) from a directory outside of my app's directory (which was created automatically by the app loader in Tomcat, under webapps) i.e. /opt/some_dir/this_dir ? I want to keep configuration files somewhere else without worrying about clobbering them in the webapps/app dir. Any help I can get would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks,
Chris Johnson
