Hi Rajendra,
This also confused the hell out of me.
Here are some tips
If a url is relative, its relative to the page
eg
moreInfo/Details/SomePage.htm
So its going to depend on the page the user is viewing and go from there...
just like normal HTML pages.
When you want it to go to an "absolute" relative page LOOK at the folders
under you project name, or the folders under Web Pages in netbeans ONLY.
So in Netbeans if you have Details/SomePage.jsp under Web Pages and you want
the link to go there, you would write it as
/Details/SomePage.jsp
That little / at the beginning makes it go to that page regardless of the
page it is in.
Now when you want to get at your class files, you normally just use the
class name, no paths.
eg:
<jsp:useBean scope="request" id="searchBean"
class="com.myco.searchResultBean" />
BUT if you want to get at say the actual bytes then one way is to
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
sWebInfPath = context.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/");
This will give you that actual location on your file system and then you can
just
use (new File) etc to get at the physical file in the sub folder.
A more advanced function is to go the same way as you would if you wanted to
extract the bytes of a class from a Jar file
in = getClass().getResourceAsStream(sPackageName);
it also works on Tomcat.
Hope that helps.....

Hi,
I am using TOMCAT 5.5. I am creating a file in class that is called from a
JSP. However, the relative path that I have specified in the class doesn't
seem to work. The path that I have used is
:"/webapps/Jonathon/WEB-INF/etc/subscriber.txt".
Can someone please let me know, what is wrong with the relative path ?
thanks in advance,
Rajendra
