Hello, we are using a third party software which accesses files local on the server. We must send in our request the "local path" to this files (e.g. D:\myserver\webapps\data\thefiles\). My idea was to write a servelt which delivers me "D:\myserver\webapps" and the client application can add the rest of the path because this is a fixed part.

Not sure what you mean by "local webapps path". If you mean the path in the local file system, you should be aware that the servlet spec is designed so that a servlet container can operate _without_ a local file system, so there's no guarantee of such a path existing. If your goal is to access some resource located with your webapp, follow the procedure here: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_load_a_properties_file.3F You should pretty much never use getRealPath(), since it may not be able to return anything useful. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
