Hi! I am new to ZK. Is it possible to create new directories under WEB-INF in zk? I cannot seem to be able to make java.io.File work...Thanks

I am not sure this is a ZK issue.

application.getRealPath()

or similat might help to get the way to WEB-INF folder

Returns a String containing the real path for a given virtual path. For example, the path "/index.html" returns the absolute file path on the server's filesystem would be served by a request for "http://host/contextPath/index.html", where contextPath is the context path of this WebApp.
Notice that ZK don't count on this method to retrieve resources. If you want to change the mapping of URI to different resources, override org.zkoss.zk.ui.sys.UiFactory.getPageDefinition instead.
Parameters:
path

Hope it helps
Stefano

Thanks for the info. Um, how about if I want to get the file's path in the disk like for example, "C:/workspace/zss/WebContent..."?

Doesn't application.getRealPath() already return this?!

Hi again. My project can be found in D:\workspace but when I tried using

application.getRealPath("/")

I ended up with this: "D:\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\dataLoad\" Am I missing something here? :( Thanks

Well... this is where Eclipse's Tomcat instance is actually deploying on the fly your application for development/testing purposes.
So the value obtained is correct.
You will never be able to get the Workspace location - i.e. where e.g. Eclipse is storing project files.
Your application is instead able to look at the position where it is deployed.
Suppose you will deploy under Tomcat, you will get:
C:\Programs\Tomcat\webapps\dataLoad\
Maybe if you explain what you have to do and why... ;)
