How to get application directory?

[SuperMoonster]

Hello guys,

I wanna get the directory from where my webapp is running. For desktop apps, I do:

System.getProperty("user.dir");

How do I do it for webapps? I wanna get the path, something like: /srv/

http://www/tomcat5/base/webapps/MyApp

From a JSP or servlet :

String webappRoot = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");

will give you :

TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/YourWebApp

Actually, I wanna do it from a Struts Action. Is there any way? Because it keeps giving me an error.

Take note : when asking a question, say EXACTLY what you want- be SPECIFIC. That way, you'll get quicker answers, and we won't be wasting our time.

Thanks.

In a struts action class then (the execute() method) :

String webappRoot = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
