Reading xml file from war file

[Rajeev Iyer]

I have deployed a .war file (web-apps section) and in one of the class files in the .war, I read some data from a .xml file.
But I get an error, file not found exception, .xml file not found..
What could be the problem?
Thanks.......

you have to read like this
InputStream in= this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("your path would go here");
for eg the if your .java file is in packaget org.presci.transaction
and your xml file is in same directory
then the path would go something like this
/org/presci/transaction/your.xml

Thanks for the reply Prasad,
I got the problem, the war file was getting deployed in a specific path of the server, and to get that path, applicatin.getRealPath("") needs to be appended to the path specified in the java file.
Thanks....
