RE: How can I access a file located in WEB-INF

Further, you will probably want to be able to construct the path to /WEB-INF at runtime rather than hardcoding paths... You can do that as follows:

String fullPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("path");

where path is a context-relative path (can include a filename if you want).

For instance, I use this in a Struts plug-in to initialize a custom connection pool. The value I use for path is "/WEB-INF/ConnPoolConfig.xml". The above gives you the full system path to the file (in my case, C:\tomcat\webapps\toa\WEB-INF on my development machine), so you can easily open it then.

If you just use the above to get the path to a path (i.e., you want the fully-qualified path to WEB-INF in the current webapp, but not a specific file), you will need to append a file separator character at the end before appending a filename.

File dir = new File("directoryName");

    String[] children = dir.list();
    if (children == null) {
        // Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
    } else {
        for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
            // Get filename of file or directory
            String filename = children[i];
        }
    }

Hi,

I need to access a file located in the directory WEB-INF of my web
application.
In fact, in WEB-INF/conf.
How can I open this file in one of my servlet ?

Any advise is welcome.
