get docbase / context root from within application

Hi. 

I have a jsp page and want to get hold of the absolute path to the context root /doc base directory.


I have my tomcat application deployed under /foo/bar/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/

This is the path I want to retrieve programmatically rather than hard code it.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.
Kind regards.
Luke Vanderfluit.

Always the same. The moment I post with a question I find the answer.
I should post sooner. But no. Err but yes. No definitely not. Yes I should. 

getServletContext().getRealPath("/")

Thanks Yoav Shapira...
