JAVA Servlet reading from the wrong directory.

[Jose Rodz]

I have JAVA Servlet that reads from a XML file, but only if the file is in
WINNT/System 32 directory instead of my Web Root Directory. I am using Apache
Tomcat 4.0. Any suggestion to make the Servlet read the file from the correct
directory? Thanks in advance.

The file name you want to read from is
getServletContext().getRealPath("your.xml"), or something a lot like that.
