Seam 2.1.1-GA how to read from WEB-INF

[arshadm]

Hi,

I need a component to be able to read configuration data from WEB-INF. Traditionally, I would have used startup code in a servlet and used getServletContext() to get at the files under WEB-INF but I don't have access to that in Seam.

How does one read data from a WEB-INF folder.

Hi,

this should do the trick:

ServletContext ctx = ServletLifecycle.getServletContext();

File f = new File(ctx.getRealPath("WEB-INF/your.file"));

maybe there is better way if there is I would also like to know...
