Access mysql db through tomcat

[Usman Zaheer]

Hi,

I am making a website in which i have to upload videos. Therefore i have placed the path for videos rather than videos themselves in my mysql db. the path is simply '\video'.
Before i was using iis server and i placed my interface files 'index.html' and 'video' folder both in C:\inetpub\wwwroot and it was working fine.
i tried making a folder 'test' and placing both my .html file and video folder in that and it worked.. means the video folder was not being accessed from wwwroot but rather from where my .html file was placed (i hope)
but now i am using tomcat and i have tried placing '\video' folder in 'tomcat\ROOT' as well as in my application 'tomcat\webapps\WebApplication1' and 'tomcat\webapps'.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in anticipation.
