Getting the current working directory

[Jan Wielgus <li...@o2.pl>]

Hi,

I would like to get the _actual_ current working directory, as I
want to write files on the server. As I'm using Java for that, I
need to have the full path explicitly. I can't use the protocols
such as 'context:/' or 'cocoon:/'. 
I have my app in such a directory:
c:\cocoon-2.1.2\build\webapp\my-app-dir
but Java (embedded in a XSP page) recognizes only "c:\cocoon-2.1-2".
Are there any possibilities to get the actual directory and give it
to Java function as parameter without need to code it directly in
the XSP page?

Jan

the "actual current working directory" is a bit ambiguous here. For java 
it will always be the directory from where the application is started from.

I can think of ugly non portable hacks using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("insert your external program here");

but surely you can save yourself this mess and just set it as a 
configuration property :)

That is exactly that what I need:) Thank you very very much!:))

Jan,

I don't know the details of your configuration, but what is the RealPath
input module returning?
As a test, try one of the samples:
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/samples/modules/realpath.xsp (modify for your
environment)

And what do you exaclty mean with: "but Java (embedded in a XSP page)
recognizes only c:\cocoon-2.1-2.". Recognizes from what input?
