Help required with Tomcat

[Huzefa]

I am making a small demo website using JSP. I am running Tomcat 5.0.27
Users login to the site and their personal data is displayed.
For this purpose I created an XML file to hold user data.
However, the file is not being read.
I have tried to put the file everywhere, in the WEB-INF directory,
in the classes directory (in the package directory), and also in the
application folder. However, all i get is a 404 message from Tomcat.

When i added a try block to the code, it threw a JspException again
stating the same thing.

Where do I put this file so that it can be read by the JSP code?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx

It is difficult to determine without knowing exactly what you tried.
Tomcat comes with an example using an XML file for users. Both the
admin and manager web apps use the file <Tomcat
Dir>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file.

Those app's contexts are located in <TOMCAT DIR>/webapps

They are deployed at <TOMCAT DIR>/server/webapps. Check out the
context files and the web.xml to see what they do.

You can put xyz.xml in WEB-INF, and read it using
URL url =
ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("xyz.xml");
