Note that using ServletContext.getRealPath() can be problematic, since the container (Tomcat) is under no obligation to expose the file system (if any) to servlets. Good advice Charles. Unfortunately I don't have the option of altering the part of the code where the context(web application) reads in the file it needs. I could reset CATALINA_BASE to point to somewhere else, but I have multipe contexts(web applications ) and I need each to have its own unique directory to go look for files in. Right now I am only running instance of Tomcat ( for development purposes ) with my set up and if possible I would like to keep it that way. Is it possible that I could make each context get a different CATALINA_BASE (or other) variable or otherwise get accomplish the same goal? Thanks in advance for any help. I'm still new to navigating around the docs and the new tomcat Steve
