StandardContext .. getPath()

[Danny Angus <da...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I can't find the answer to this question anywhere, although I expect its
quite simple..

I've created my own context class, subclassing StandardContext, and I want
it to be able to read a config file, but I'm having problems getting a path
from tc.

How can I get the real path to ~/webapps, or get CATALINA_HOME for my
context to use in its hunt for its config file?

I realise I may have missed the blindingly obvious here, for which I
appologise in advance.

d.

I'll answer my own question..
getServletContext() returns null until start() (or in my case super.start())
has been called, whereafter I can use ServletContext.getRealPath()
