Loading a file from a Seam component

[bgoetzmann]

Hello,

I'm new to Seam and my question is certainly trivial!

My Seam web application folder contains a folder named data that contains XML files (data is on the same level as WEB-INF).
I would like to access to one of these XML file from a Seam component; how can I achieve this without the use of an absolute path ? Is there some application properties I can use?

Thank you!

Cheers,

Bertrand.

PS: Working a lot with Grails, I'm also impressive by Seam!

Finally I find a solution using this in my Seam component:

@In
private FacesContext facesContext

and in a method:

ServletContext sc = (ServletContext) facesContext.getExternalContext().getContext()
String fileName = sc.getRealPath("/data/test.xml")


Cheers,

Bertrand.
