The problem is the "current directory" is the startup directory for
tomcat. In a webapp that might be running on several different
installations, the current working directory is a moving target.
Given this is always used from an exploded webapp and not a .war file,
you could use ServletContext.getRealPath( ). That will return the
absolute path to the file, but only if the webapp isn't packed up as .war.

hello alltogether,
i have a problem with accessing files deployed on tomcat. I want to access
an image which is stored in a "graphics" folder right below the "WEB-INF"
folder. I read that the tomcat-context has its start path on the "classes"
folder. So what i did to retrieve the image was:
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("/../graphics/toon.gif");
When I debugged I recongnized that the image width and height is -1, so i
figure I didn't load the image correctly. Do you have any suggestions what I
can do to make this work?
I appreciate your time,
Thorsten
