Re: Real path of the app server

Thanks heaps Dmitry - this works fantastic and is exactly what I was 
looking for.

 I was trying a few other things such as the getRealPath but they didn't 
give the root of the web server and they came
up with all sorts of deprecation warnings, was working on putting 
something in build scripts .. but this should work better.

Tomcat sets system property "catalina.home" at runtime. I guess other app
servers does similiar things. Try to get it like:

System.getProperty("catalina.home");

Re: Real path of the app server

[Daniel Lydiard <dl...@hotmail.com>]

Isn't there a ServletContext getRealPath() that does something like that?

Re: Real path of the app server

[Lindsay Steele <ls...@iinet.net.au>]

 Unless I am mistaken .. but from my testing this only gives me the path 
of a file once it has been written.

 I can decide where to write a file by giving it a hard coded location - 
but I need something that goes across different OS's.

If I could find where the web server is I could better choose where to 
write the file.

The other alternative is to just let it write the file and then move it 
.. but this could make things a bit messy unless I can control
where it writes the file.

Would be best if there was some way to get the real path on disk of the 
web server.
