Problem getting list of filenames

Question

Hi all,
I have a problem with a servlet:
I am trying to get a String array of all the filenames in a directory using list(). Is this possible in a servlet? I am using tomcat 5.0.
this is my code so far:
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
URL url = context.getResource("/txt/");
String loc = url.toString();
File dir = new File(loc);
String[] files = dir.list();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
System.out.println(files);
can anyone help?

Answer 1

Looks ok to me.
Whats the problem?
A couple of other ways I might suggest:
1 - try File dir = new File(url)
As long as it is a file:// url, the above should work.
2 - use context.getRealPath("/txt");
String loc = context.getRealPath("/txt");
File dir = new File(loc);
Cheers,
