Hi all, Thanks for all your response for my question.

It looks to me like you're not going to be able to do this without some code changes (or just stay in TC 7 for now). Either check for the existence (or not) of the trailing "\" and fix the path string accordingly, or since the file you're trying to read is inside your context, build the name from the context path rather than the real path. Either way needs code changes, but the second one is more portable than the first option. > > Thanks, > Sasi Kumar M. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 2:29 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Reg. getRealPath("/") _ How does the result of this method > differ in Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8 > > Sasikumar Muralikrishnan wrote: >> Hi Team, >> >> Using this method >> >> getServletContext().getRealPath("/") >> >> returns '\' at the end when I run my project in Tomcat 7 whereas it is not >> working as such in Tomcat 8. >> >> For example, >> In Tomcat 7 it returns as "D:\Tomcat\webapps\project\" >> In Tomcat 8 it returns as "D:\Tomcat\webapps\project" >> >> At present the project is in production so, I am unable to change the code >> in every part(where i use getRealPath("/")).
