get class location 1

[jemminger]

is there any way to determine where in the file system a class is?

for example, if my class Foo.class is in
c:/foo/bar/classes/Foo.class

is there some way for Foo to know about this path?

Hi Jeff,

Try this :

String path = this.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toString();
System.out.println(path);

Now this works with a simple standalone class, but I'm sure its failed on classes contained within a webapp or jar ... give it a go and see if it works for you
