Hi Tomcatters; A seemingly naive question: I've got various configuration data, tucked away under /WEB-INF/.
If I use context.getRealPath(datapath), I can check the timestamp, so that I know if it needs to be re-read. However, this fails if we're serving from a .war file (in which case, presumably it won't need re-reading?) OTOH, context.getResourceAsStream(datapath) gives no means to check the timestamp, but will work from .war. An obvious solution is to use getRealPath to check the timestamp and getResourceAsStream to read it. But this seems to mix modes of thinking (A Resource being something more abstract?). Experience tells me this can often lead to problems down the line... So the question is: Am I missing something? Is there some other Best Practices approach to this rather simple situation?
