Application path

[rparikh]

Hi :
How do I determine what path my java main application class is loaded from. "user.dir" is the current working directory, but if the actual jar or class file is loaded from some other directory, how can I determine that directory inside the program?
TIA,Rima Parikh.

What r u using ?
If JSP, the application object is available implicitly, inside JSP, application.getRealPath(""), will return you what you want.
FYI, application object is part of javax.servlet.ServletContext package
