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.
