Get the project path using Java.

hansoctantan

Hi, I have a problem on getting the project path of a web application. Reason on getting the project path is I'm uploading a PDF Files to the project path so that I can open it to the browser, I'm hoping to do this http://localhost:8080/PDFviewer/UploadedFiles/sample.pdf. I have found something in the Internet but the path is not in my project path

getServletContext().getRealPath("/");

My project path is D:\Java\Java Web Projects\PDFviewer but the above code is giving me D:\Java\Java Web Projects\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\PDFviewer Can anybody please suggest a way of getting the application path in java. Thanks... :thumbsup:

The path the system gives you is correct, because the web server is placed in the wtpwebapps folder. Try to deploy it and see if the path comes up correct on a test system. I assume so.
