Parsing XML file from servlet

[shaju joseph]

I am trying to parse a XML file from /WEB-INF directory. I want to do it from a bean class which is instantiated in a servlet. What path I should give to parse this file ?
Document doc = db.parse("/abc.xml") or
Document doc = db.parse("/WEB-INF/abc.xml") ?
Thanks for the help

Any thoughts ?
If not /WEB-INF directory, what path I should give to parse a file from application's root directory ?
Thx

joseph,
First of all have you thought about ".."
Secondly, do you know there is a button on which U (and only you) can click to edit your previous post if you want ot update it.
Hope this help,
thomas,

If ur webapp is a .war file use the following in ur servlet code
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/abc.xml")
Document doc = db.parse(is) ;
