How to get real path of /WebContent

843842Sep 8 2009 — edited Sep 8 2009

Hello,

in one of my filters I save a file to WebContent/images/ on certain conditions. It works well since I hardcoded the absolute path to the WebContent
folder as in /home/myname/projects/appxx/WebContent/images, which is obviously ugly.

How can I get the path?

I tried HttpServletRequest.getRealPath(), but it's not the path I need...

Best regards,
Yves
