Re: Read file from docroot

Passing a path that starts with "../" as an
argument to ServletContext.getResource() is invalid (and
will cause an error) as per the javadocs of
ServletContext.getResource(String path):

     * Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to a
specified
     * path. The path must begin with a "/" and is
interpreted
     * as relative to the current context root.

This means that the use of this API will be portable across
containers.

As for being able to update the returned resource, the
javadocs also specifies this:

     * Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned
by
     * this method using the methods of the URL class.

Thanks for correcting, Jan.

But since docroot is not part of any context, it won't be
possible to use
this technique to read/write files from docroot.

So, I guess the only solution is to use
ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream() and then
passing the relative path. Is that right?

Thanks,
Kedar
