Hi,

My directory structure for my web application is like following

—Web
|
|—-photos
| |
| +-abc
| +-pqr
|
|—pages
| |–home.jsp
|
|—WEB-INF
|
|-+-classes
|
|—src
|
|—com
|
|—webapp
|
|–HomePageAction.java

Now what I want to do is I have got one Action Servlet from there I want to find out how many directories in web/photos directory.

Now my first que is when i am using this syntax

File f1 = new File(path);

so what shud be the path, shud it be path = “../../photos”;
but here it cannot find any files. when I am taking the path as path=”../”; then it gives me some files which is not even any directory.

So I am not sure it is the right way to access the files from web application or servlet. or weather I am taking the wrong path.

Pls reply me the solution as I am stuck here and dont know what to do.

Thanks

Krunal,
You will want to use the ServletContext.getRealPath method to resolve the actual path you need, have a look: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html
