XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[luca <passani AT eunet.no>]

thanks for your help. Things seem to work now:

//sc is instance of ServletContext
String path = sc.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/somexmlfile.xml");
File file = new File(path);
if (file.exists()) {
    obj = new Obj(file.toURI().toString());
}

this ends up in an invokation of :

parser.build(file.toURI().toString());

Hope this helps others in the future.
Extra keywords for the archive: servlet, ServeletContext, tomcat,
web application, webapp, getResource(), getResourceAsStream()
