    Default Relative path issue with Context path struts

    Hi All,

    I have 2 projects -

    1. ProjecttContent - {context path ---> /hardware/xl/abc/content}
    |--------------WebContent
    |-----------ODSFileContent
    |---------------- content.xml


    and ProjectWeb - {context path ---> /hardware/xl/abc}
    |-------------- JavaSource
    | -------------- package com.xl.abc.data
    | ---------- ContentData.java


    Now, in ContentData.java i need to get content.xml file to do further operation which is in ProjectContent project.

    In ContentData.java ------

    I am getting contextpath from request. which returns /hardware/xl/abc since this java file is in ProjectWeb.

    As content.xml is in ProjectContent, so appended /content to context path which is returned from request in ContentData.

    i.e. request.getContextPath(); returns /hardware/xl/abc

    BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(request.getContextPath()+"/content.xml"));

    [3/30/11 21:53:06:328 IST] 0000003e SystemErr R java.io.FileNotFoundException: \hardware\xl\abc\content\content.xml (The handle is invalid.)
    [3/30/11 21:53:06:343 IST] 0000003e SystemErr R at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    [3/30/11 21:53:06:343 IST] 0000003e SystemErr R at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.jav a:129)

    Please let me know how to get access to content.xml which is in ProjectContent from ContentData.java in ProjectWeb

    Thanks,
    Chinnu

    Default Re: Relative path issue with Context path struts

    I suggest using: System.out.println(request.getContextPath()+"/content.xml"); to see what the full path looks like.

    The exception suggests that it cannot locate the file. Maybe try putting the full path in like so:

    BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("\\hardware\\xl\\abc\\content\\content.xml"));

    See if this works then we can take it from there.
