Where to include aiml bot files

Question

Hello I am creating a chat bot web application using program ab in java. If I access the files from external storage, it is working. If I store the files inside my project, it is not working? I don't know what is the problem.

This code is not working, ServerCode is my project name in eclipse.

String botName = "super";
String botPath = "ServerCode/aiml";
Bot bot = new Bot(botName, botPath);
Chat chatSession = new Chat(bot);
String request =  msg.toUpperCase();
String response = chatSession.multisentenceRespond(request);    
System.out.println(response);

While this code is working,

String botName = "super";
String botPath = "E:\ab";
Bot bot = new Bot(botName, botPath);
Chat chatSession = new Chat(bot);
String request =  msg.toUpperCase();
String response = chatSession.multisentenceRespond(request);    
System.out.println(response);

What is the problem? how to store the folders and its sub folders inside the project, so that when I can create war file, I include those files in that war file.

There is no problem with where you are storing the files, the problem is how you accessed it. The files get stored in some other location when u export it to war file, so you can't access the files. So by changing the way you access the files as below, it will work fine.

String botPath = this.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath();
String botName = "super";
String botPath = "E:\ab";
Bot bot = new Bot(botName, botPath);
Chat chatSession = new Chat(bot);
String request =  msg.toUpperCase();
String response = chatSession.multisentenceRespond(request);    
System.out.println(response);
