Hi,

You can do this by adding this in your web.xml file.

//web.xml amendments

 <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jasper</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

Hi ujjwal soni,

Please understand my problem.

i need to specify the path of the jasper file in the method as a argument, that method will create a report for me.

Now, how should i mention the path of that file in the method.

i dont think its possible in the way you have specified, if it is possible how will i mention the path in method.

do reply.

Thanks In Advance

getServletContext().getRealPath("<your path>");

- returns the virtual path to your resource

Give the path with forward slash.
It will work on both Windows and Unix.
