I've tried new File(new URI("file:/myFile.txt")) but it looks for the file in c:\myFile.txt, not in the "dir" in my property. I've tried new File(new URI("file:myFile.txt")) but failed with "URI not hierarchical ". Please help.

In your servlet, you can acquire a URL to the resource that is stored in
your
alternate docroot, as follows:
getServletContext().getResource("/testing/test.txt");
This will return a URL to this resource:
C:/Dev/java/NetBeans_projects/testing/text.txt
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jan
