The servlet context is only accessible within servlets (and filters,
etc.). It's not going to be accessible within your utils class unless
you pass a reference to it.
Perhaps you could post your complete use-case: why are you trying to get
the real path, when you need it, what you need it for.
If the directory you want contains configuration information, or it's a
destination for log files, etc, you could pass it as a context-param.
For example, add the following to your web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>myDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>/home/user</param-value>
</context-param>
Then in your servlets,
String myDirectory =
getServletContext().getInitParameter("myDirectory");
This is probably better than using getRealPath().
Alternatively, if you need to read from this directory, consider using
getResource() or getResourceAsStream() (which are also in the servlet
context class).
