Howdy, >i i write in one servlet this: >String whereIs = ((ServletContext)request).getRealPath("/"); >in tomcat appears this error, can any body help me? Thanks
What are you trying to do? ;) A request is not a context. So what you're doing is an invalid cast and the JVM correctly throws an exception at runtime. Assuming the above code is in a servlet, you can just do: String whereIs = getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); To get the "real" (file) path to the docBase of your webapp. As the code suggests, this path is request-independent. Note that this wouldn't work if you're running from a packed .war archive.
