Discovering the webapp path.

[Sean Leblanc <Se...@insightamerica.com>]

I'm hoping this isn't a FAQ somewhere. I did try googling and searching the
mailing list. Here goes:

Is there a way to, at runtime, discover the path that the webapp is in? I
can't really rely on the root path being any particular path and doing
absolute path, because depending on how tomcat is started, root is in
different places.


TIA,

You can try getting the java system property user.dir
Why do you need the path?  Can you get away with using
getResourceAsStream(...) instead?
