GWT: reading a file from the server at server startup

Question

I am trying to have the server read from a file called "config.txt" in the same directory as the main .html file during the war.

In posting mode, I can easily access the file using the Scanner object:

Scanner s = new scanner ("config.txt");

But this does not work during deployment, as the file paths are slightly different. How can I get the correct file path to access config.txt in the deployed version?

I tried getServletContext.getRealPath ("config.txt"), but for some reason I get a Null Pointer exception when trying to call this in the ServiceImpl constructor ...

Answer 1

, getServletContext.getRealPath( "/" ) - , .
