How to get servlet context or similar object in Struts

[Dhiren Joshi]

I need handle to ServletContext becuase I need the access to this method .
getRealPath() in servlet context. Can any one tell me how I could get this using Struts in my Action classes.

Thanks

For struts 1.1 (not sure on latest):

this.getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("blah");

I can make this call even in Struts action classes ?

this.getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("blah");

Thanks

Well, I have never used the getRealPath(String) method, but I have used other methods of ServletContext from our Action classes (execute method) using that construct.

Remember, that was for struts 1.1. You'll need to make sure you can do this for whatever version you are using.
