MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: jndi

[zoso]

Hi all
I deployed into Jboss 3.0 a servlet in a war file.
I would like have access to a resource (an XML file) located in /WEB-INF/ path of that war. I call the getResource method of the Context object and I pass the result to an URL ... nut I throw in an exception

"MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: jndi"


This is the code :

requestMappingsURL = context.getResource("/WEB-INF/mappings.xml").toString();

URL url = new URL(requestMappingsURL );

The "requestMappingsURL" is "jndi:/localhost/myapp/WEB-INF/mappings.xml" .
WHere is the error ?
Please help me

Have a look at JBoss3.0.3-Tomcat4.1.12. It integrate the Catalina JNDI handler into JBoss' URLStreamHandlerFactory.

Liam.

You just want access to the file correct? Why are you using JNDI to get this....have you tried the getRealPath() method from the Servlet API?
