Rather than trying to look up the config file path on the classpath you could simply ask the administrator to supply it in a context parameter override. That way the administrator decides where it should go, not you and you can supply an internal default if you wish. If you're using Spring this is very easily accomplished with their ServletContextPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer class hope this helps -- Best Regards, Brett Delle Grazie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
