Re: getRealPath() returns real path plus context path
Hi,
Edmund Urbani wrote:
the getRealPath method simply returns a path inside the webapp's
directory. eg. you can do getRealPath("images/someimg.jpg") and get the
actual filesystem path for that file, so you can access it using
java.io.File and do something with it. getRealPath("/") should give you
the webapp directory itself.
note that you probably should not use this method, if you ever want to
be able to run your webapp directly from a .war file.
I know about the problem with the war file. That's the reason why I
until today never used this method and apparently never read the
Javadocs
Thanks for the helpful answer.
Regards
Franz

getRealPath() returns real path plus context path
Hi, I've a problem when using ServletContext#getRealPath() with Tomcat 5.5.9. My web application resides under the name "tool" in the webapps directory. When I call servletContext.getRealPath(request.getContextPath() I get the real path but always with the context path added at the end. That means a path like C:\path\to\tomcat\webapps\tool\tool. Is there any explanation for this behaviour? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any hints in advance Regards Franz -- Franz-Josef Herpers Puschkinallee 9A 12435 Berlin 030/53 21 33 02 0173/54 23 666 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
deploy-task with directory-structure
Hi, i used to work with the ant install task during development. Now i migrated to Tomcat 5.0.16 and from the docs and this mailing list I know, that the install task is deprecated in favour of the deploy task. So i changed my install target: But know I get the error message: [deploy] BUILD FAILED: file:E:/CVS_PROJEKTE/iuclid-x/build.xml:242: java.net.UnknownHostException: E The target is run from the same server that Tomcat is running on. Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? Is it possible to deploy from a directory structure (not a war-file) like with the install task?
