hey i used this code for testing:

URL url = modelsData.class.getResource(user+".dat");
String path = url.getPath();

now the thing is a changed the folder in which i need the url to point
too. its no longer in the same folder as the modelsData class. My
question is how can i put the path ihave into a URL?? I need to make
the url poitn to :

"C:/tomcat/webapps/export/ModelUsers/"+user+".dat";

but i can't figure out how to construct the URL in javadoc.
Thanks for any help
