You can't.
The main reason is that you are making an incorrect assumption that your
webapp has only *one* context path (or even one virtual host). It is
quite common for the same webapp instance to be exposed under more than
one name -- the most common example is the large number of websites that
are available under both "foo.com" and "www.foo.com" hostnames. It is
also possible to make the same webapp available under multiple context
paths on the same server.
The bottom line is that there is no such thing as *the* (single) context
path for a particular web application.
