Hi

I wrote a new servlet that uses a configuration file to store
parameters.
The problem is that I want to use a relative path when accessing this
file, since I dont know where this servlet will be deployed.
Basically, I want it to be in the same directory where the .class
files are located.

Using the property user.dir does'nt help because it returns the
server's executable path.

How can I control this ? how can the program "know" where the class
files are ?
