Jake, you are correct. Guess I was high on dope, huh :-) But I suppose one
could still use the environment entry technique for "root" contexts.
Thanks

Hello rsequeira,
I think you are mistaking getServletContext with getRealPath("/").
The servlet context object is too important to *ever* return null. It
is only file system operations that will not work when the context is
deployed in a .war file.
