The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

getServletContext().getRealPath(".") Error????

Asked by Juuno in Java Programming Language, Java Servlets, Apache Tomcat Application Server

I want to load xml file from my web application. It is in:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\workspace\myApplication\WebContent\WEB-INF\classes\resources\.

Now, I am using like this:
File indexfile = new File ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\User\\workspace\\myApplication\\WebContent\\WEB-INF\\classes\\resources\\myIndex.xml");

But giving a path like that is not good, you know. So, I tried to call it by giving the path. I tried to use load-on-startup servlet, and call that 'realPath' variable from my JavaBean. See the code of the servlet please.

But that servlet, instead of giving the path to my application, it gives the path C:\Eclipse. So, I got the error like this:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\eclipse\resources\myIndex.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

Any idea please. I have been trying this for quite long. And still got no solution.

I use Tomcat and Eclipse.
Really Thanks!!!

             public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
 
	  public static String realPath;
 
	  public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
	    super.init(config);
	    realPath = this.getServletContext().getRealPath(".");
	    System.out.println("Initialization of AppContextServlet");
	  }
	}
 
-------------------------------------- In my java bean, i call like this--------------
 
File resources = new File(MyServlet.realPath, "resources");
File indexfile = new File(resources, "myIndex.xml");
