How do I search for a file in a folderand its subfolders?

[aleplgr]

Hi! I'm trying to open a pdf file and this way works fine when the pdf it's in C:
try
{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + "c:\\tuto.pdf");
}
but now I don't know the tuto.pdf path, I know it looks like this:
SOMETHINGHERE \ MyApplication\Totorials\tuto.pdf, but how could I find the SOMETHINGHERE part of the path?

This is not a Java or a PDF question is it? How you find the path of a file? You must know where it is to begin with, right? Otherwise this is like asking "how long is a piece of string?"

You could transform this problem to "How do I search for a file in a folder and it's subfolders".

Yes, you are right, thanks, the file I'm searching it's located in a fixed folder in MyApplication folder, but MyApplication folder will be distributed to other users that I don't know where are going to locate it. To find the path to MyApplication folder I'm using this:
String wd = System.getProperty("user.dir");
and it's working ok, what do you think about it?
Thanks

If directory MyApplication is in the user's home directory that works. If not, it doesn't.
