Hi,
You could try ServletContext#getRealPath("/").
That will only work when a WAR is unpacked. Servlet containers are not
required to support unpacked WAR deployment, and will return null to all
getRealPath calls if running the webapp from a packed WAR.
Moreover, your question suggests Tomcat-specific code, which is a
Something To Be Avoided If Possible. Stick to the Servlet Spec as much
as you can.
