| Relative file path problem while running JSF Project in eclipse with Tomcat runtime [message #200655] |

Hi,
When I run a JSF based web project inside Eclipse, the bean associated
with the page has to create a file object which should be relative to
the project location. But whenever I create a file object in a
web-application project, the file object that is created has a path
relative to the Eclipse installation directory rather than the web
project directory.
Can anyone help me out?
(In a simple java project the file object's path is always relative to
the project directory)
Regards
Samrat Dhillon

I don't believe the Servlet spec makes any promises about the "current
directory" when a web application is running, so relative paths are
likely to be trouble. The Servlet spec does provide a
"javax.servlet.context.tempdir" context attribute whose value is a
java.io.File object for a directory which may be read and written.
Alternatively, you could provide an absolute path as some form of
configuration setting for your webapp.
Cheers,
Larry
