Where should I store files for my web-app?

Question

I'm developing a web-app to deploying to Heroku. However, even if I start the application by Tomcat, my BufferedReader can't find it, because the current directory is /home/vladyour/Programs/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M19/bin .

Where should I store files for my web-app? And how to address to them?

Thank you!

Answer 1

you can add your war file or upacked files under /home/vladyour/Programs/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M19/webapps

and you can address them by "address-ip":"tomcat-port"/'name-of your-app-at-webapps-dir"
