在tomcat服务器中运行时如何在eclipse中提供相对路径

Question

I wrote java code using REST which retrieves the employee details like id and name from a saved file. Absolute path is working fine while running the tomcat server, but once i provide relative path tomcat is not finding the file path. I'm using BufferedReader to read from the file.

Answer 1

Eclipse server plugin will compile the java sources into binary class files and put it into a work dir, so the relative path will not working. The quickest way to make it work is to put your files into the source directory. Then Eclipse server plugin will copy that file to the classes folder in your work directory. Then you can use relative path to read it.
