Hi,

I am trying to create a servlet that will allow users to modify their
web.xml file. I know the class is going to be installed in the lib directory
of the web-inf directory. I am trying to create a file object with the path
to this directory.
How do I construct a file object pointing to the directory from which the
class is located. I can then work by way up a directory and then to the
web.xml file.

Any help is appreciated.
