Re: Fetching images for users: where to put them?

Turns out getServletContext returns null.

I am using my own tomcat server, so I'm fine with writing files. Except I haven't been able to figure out a proper way to get the path.

Currently I use "private static String uglyHardcodedPath = "../webapps/myproject/"", the prepend this to all my filepaths...

Thanks everyone

Hello,

I haven't been able to figure this out after spending 3 hours on
Google.

I can fetch an image, but I don't know where to put them.
If I just use "new File("image.jpg")", it will end up in my tomcat
bin/ folder.

Some sugggests to use getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); but it
would block forever at "getServletContext", I don't know why.

What should I do so it will be part of the war, thus clients can
access it via "http://path.to/appname/images/someimage.jpg"?

What is the best practice on this?

Thank you so much.
Sam
