Thanks Milt... yes I'm reading servlet programming by the same author, he'd written a servlet example that reads and writes a counter to an external file resource but it seems the file location varies depending on the container implementation - I was trying to understand how to determine an exact location of a resource for reading from, and writing to.
Any further advice gratefully accepted. /j-p.
