That's because the config file isn't in the current working directory. You need this:input = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config.txt");

The suggestion doesn't work for me. I put the file under the folder called 'CONFIG' under my default-war file of JRUN Server. I try to access the file as such:

String strFilePath = "CONFIG\config.txt";

I access this string under a static variable so I cannot use

"this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("config.txt");"

Any other suggestions? It is important that I use a relative path and not an absolute one. thx

"Hi, You can give the relative path like this [code]

[\code]

I assume your config.txt file is in the folder textfiles under web-apps folder.

bye for now

So you didn't really put it in the WEB-INF/classes directory, like you originally said? I don't really see the point of posting false information and then complaining that solutions based on it don't work.

And you're running your code in a static method? I don't really see the point of that in a servlet environment, but whatever. Let's suppose your class is called Stupid. Then put your config file in the WEB-INF/classes directory, because that's in your classpath. Don't put it somewhere else that isn't in the classpath. Then do this:input = Stupid.class.getResourceAsStream("/config.txt");

And forget about the pointless requirement for a "relative" path.

In my application, we are using only one Servlet, ie, MainServlet.

I have declared context as static var in MainServlet as below:-

public static ServletContext context = null;

public void init()

{

context = getServletContext();

String serverPath = context.getRealPath("");

}
