Importing files to upload

[z3r0]

Hi,
can someone give me alternatives to upload files. I use just the following piece of code:

// Open the file and convert to byte array
            InputStream viewStream = newContentNode.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.jpg");
            byte[] bytes = null;
         try 
         {
            bytes = ContentUtils.convertToByteArray(viewStream);
         } 
         catch (Exception e)
         {
            …
         }
            
            // Write the content
            ContentServiceSoapBindingStub contentService = WebServiceFactory.getContentService();
            Content contentRef = null;
         try 
         {
            contentRef = contentService.write(newContentNode, Constants.PROP_CONTENT, bytes, format);
         } 
         catch (ContentFault e) 
         {
            …
         } 
         catch (RemoteException e) 
         {
            …
         }

My problem is that the file test.jpg is in the same folder as the class. But I want to upload files from another folder.
Here is test.jpg : ProjectFolder/WEB-INF/classes/package1/package2/
But I want from that folder. : ProjectFolder/TempFolder/

This code does not work.

InputStream viewStream = newContentNode.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("../../../../../TempFolder/test.jpg");

Has anyone a solution for this problem or an idea?

the only way i konw how to do this, is to use the servlet conext to get the real (filesystem) path of the file:

void myFunc(ServletContext context) {

   //returns full path. Ex: C:\tomcat\5.5\webapps\myapp\ProjectFolder\TempFolde\test.jpg
    String fullCanonicalPath = context.getRealPath("/ProjectFolder/TempFolder/test.jpg");
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fullCanonicalPath);

}

with getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream() you can only access files in the classpath.
