Looking for a variable containing webapp directory

[James Manley]

Hello, I am looking for a environement variable that contains the webapp directory in JBOSS. My aim is to create a excel file that will be downloaded to the client. And for that I nead a exact directory. I succed in writing the location in hard in my code but this solution is not good, I nead a relative directory. On google I found a ${HOME_JSF} variable but it doesn't work in my system.

Thanks for hellping,

James

To find a location of a file in the servlet http://<domaine.com>:<port>/<name of the Servlet>/<inputFile> on remote host

will be on local host

inputFileDir = System.getProperty("catalina.base")+"/wtpwebapps/<name of the Servlet>/"+inputFile;

This code give the full local contexte path :

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)facesContext.getExternalContex t().getRequest();
String contextPath = request.getContextPath();

String fullContextPath = System.getProperty("catalina.base")+"/webapps/"+contextPath;

System.out.println(fullContextPath);
