Path of jsp files.

[arada theera]

I want to know physical path of jsp file when it locate on web server.
How can I print out path on jsp page ?

Hi,

If i understood your question correctly,i think by doing something like this you can get the entire path of the JSP page. From this you can get the physical path.

<script language=javascript>
var myURL = window.location.href+"";
alert(myURL);
</script>

Thanks,
Jyothsna

I think you can use the following methods in the request object available in JSP

String getPathInfo()
String getPathTranslated()
String getQueryString()
String getRequestURI()
StringBuffer getRequestURL()
String getServletPath()

Refer the API documentation for details

What you're looking for is 'getRealPath'.

<%=application.getRealPath("/index.jsp")%>

It is not a good practice to rely on this though.
If your app is being run directly from a war file, as opposed to an exploded file system, this method will return null.

It's bad form in J2EE for an app to rely on the physical location of it's files.
