JSP using getServletContext Error

[MarkShane]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile a jsp with the following line of code.
<%@ page language="java" import="java.io.*" %>
<%
String dbPath = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/myData.db");
%>
I keep getting the following error:-
method getServletContext() not found in class.
Any suggestions??.

Hi Mark,
If the real intention is to get the real path you can probably replace that code with this
<%
String realPath =
application.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/myData.db");
%>

application object represents the servletContext and is an implicit object available in jsp.

Thanks Vijith, it worked.
