Context to path

Every web-app is in a context. Every context is in a path on the system. The
question is, how can I translate a context to a system path.

 

For example a context is in the following path:

 

E:\xxx\yyy\myContext

 

The web-app is in:

 

http://localhost:8080/myContext

 

How can I translate that using a PageContext or something similar into the
path mentioned above. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sjoerd van Leent

Actually, I already did this before but lost the solution. I remember that I
also used JNDI (or should I say, abuse JNDI) to get the actual context path.

Making a standard taglib and factory method for this seems to be not to much
of an effort.

Thanks again for this quick response.

What I usually do is this:

pageContext.getServletContext().getContext("/myContext").getRealPath("/ 
myfile.jsp")));
