Obtaining the app server install path from the running servlet

[Darrell Esau <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is possible, and I realize it'll be container
specific, but I'm wondering if it's possible to find the app server's
install path from the servlet code.  (I'm not looking for the webapp
path, as easily obtained from ServletContext's getRealPath() method)
-- I want to know where tomcat is installed on the file system (so I
can look at log files).

I need to do this for tomcat and JBoss -- but I suppose I'll need to
ask over at JBoss for the later.

Thanks for any help you can give.

The installation path is set in the catalina.base and catalina.home system properties.
