Hi to all.

I'm a newby of eclipse and of java also so prease, be patience

I have a problem figuring out how to set the path from one file to another.
I have a very trivial structure:

- project
- package1
- src
- file1
- file2
- ...
- static
- static1
- static2
- ...
- WebContent
- WEB-INF
- etc
- users.txt


well
in file1 I need to open users.txt
in file2 I need to write some data into static2.

I can't figure out the path from file1 to data.txt and from file2 to static2 and so on

I've tried (for webcontent):
addItem( user, "./project/WEB-INF/etc/users.txt");
addItem( user, "/project/WEB-INF/etc/users.txt");
addItem( user, "WebContent/WEB-INF/etc/users.txt");
addItem( user, "./project/WebContent/WEB-INF/etc/users.txt");

and so on but nothing works

Can someone help me please?

Thanks

In general, this is not an Eclipse-specific question and would probably
get more response on a general Java or JEE forum such as stackoverflow.com

I can say that, in general, Java web apps are not supposed to read from
and write to the local file system. I think the JEE spec (and some
containers) even prevent it altogether. Imagine what would happen when
the webapp is deploed as a WAR file, as is often the case? You can't
read/write inside a WAR file.
Google and/or a more general Java/JEE forum can provide some
alternatives to achieving your goal.
