Thanks Chris,
When I run my servlet in JBuilder I am able to access the file by using the File class. I know which directory the application is running in using "user.dir" and appending the path to that for where the file is. I have never tried this with a servlet until now. My main concern was getting the file itself into the deployment by getting it into the WAR file, but if I can't access the file even when it is there, getting it in the WAR file is a moot point.
I am writing a servlet and web application to allow end-users access to a device we are designing and the only front-end to the device will be the web application. Tomcat is the server and Linux is the OS. I am trying to make the case that using servlets and
JSP will be sufficient and creating a demo to prove that.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into how to implement them.
