Check out the following mehtod from ServletContext:
(cut from javadoc) getRealPath public java.lang.String getRealPath(java.lang.String path)Returns a String containing the real path for a given virtual path. For example, the path "/index.html" returns the absolute file path on the server's filesystem would be served by a request for "http://host/contextPath/index.html";, where contextPath is the context path of this ServletContext.. -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 9:42 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Servlet knowing its own URL Howdy, Thank you for the suggestions. However, my question is how to do this in the absence of any requests. This is for the init() method, so I do have the servlet context and the servlet config, though. The context name is one part, but I need the host, port, etc. All ideas appreciated, Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Dan Diodati [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 12:38 PM >To: 'Tomcat Users List' >Subject: RE: Servlet knowing its own URL > > >I believe you have to access the HttpServletRequest object( >getContextPath(), etc ).
