Hi, I've recently installed NetBeans and I'm having trouble with path information. NetBeans 5.5 RC2 installed a completely new version of
Tomcat 5.5 on my local Windows system. Almost everything works fine. The default directory for my Project class files is "My Documents/ProjectName"
That's fine. But when I try to access an XML File from one of my
servlets, netbeans-tomcat will look for it under netbeans-5.5rc2/enterprise3/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/bin and this is even on a whole different hard drive.
Of course I would prefer to have everything under one roof whithout using absolute paths. Where do I define my path for external files? It all worked fine before I used Netbeans, but then I had a different Tomcat 5.5 installation. As I said, Netbeans installs its own Tomcat version without even asking.
The funny thing is, when I access an image file from my
jsp it will look in the same file system where the JSP is, but when I use the same JSP or a servlet to load my XML it will look for it elsewhere. Here is just a simple snippet of code to illustrate:
I tried to change some settings in Tomcat's configuration files, but it just didn't work.
Thanks for your help!!
