read from file in jsp

[Nikolaj]

I'm develloping a site based on jsp.
In my javacode I want to read from a file located in the document root
of the web application. How do I do this when I dont know the name of
the host.

Should I consider locating the file somewhere else. It should actually
only be accessible from the code of the application.

Thanks for your help.

The servlet API provides for this in the ServletContext class. Example:

InputStream in = config.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(
"WEB-INF/surveys/survey.properties");

Well, the easier way to access the ServletContext is:

InputStream in = application.getResourceAsStream(...);
