Problem for getting the real path using one servlet and one jsp page

I have one tomcat machine and several virtual domains. Eahc virtual domain has one realpath in the disc.
I am using one servlet and one jsp page for using this servlet.
my purpose is to load, using the servlet , the real path for the domains (eahc domain has its path).
for this i make this:
the servlet code is this:
package utils.ticker;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
public class Edicion extends HttpServlet{
public Edicion() {
public String cc(){
ServletContext myContext= getServletContext();
String abspath = myContext.getRealPath("/");
//here i want to return the real path
return abspath;
public static void main(String args[]){
and the jsp page is:
<%@ page import="utils.ticker.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="tick" class="utils.ticker.Edicion" scope="session"/>
<html><head><body>
<%
tick.cc();
%>
</body></head></html>
But this produces one error, NullPointerException and dont shows me the real path.
Can anyone help me?
thanks

i have put this into one sevlet:
package utils.ticker;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
public class Edicion{
private ServletContext myContext;
public Edicion(ServletContext myContext) {
this.myContext = myContext;
public String getCC(){
return myContext.getRealPath("/");
and in the jsp page this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="utils.ticker.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="tick" class="utils.ticker.Edicion" scope="session"/>
<html><head><body>
<%=tick.getCC()%>
</body></head></html>
but appear this error in the tomcat.
Can you, please, help me. i am trying to solve this during one week and i am desesperate.

How do I get the real path of the xml file.
Edited by: shashiwagh on Jan 29, 2010 11:46 AM

Hi,
if your XML file is inside a package you can easily get it from the classloader.
Note that your application maybe packaged inside a jar so it is not safe to use java.io.File for this purpose.
You have an xml file in :
com/gts/xml/MyXML.xml
in a class of the same module (that will packaged in the same jar) for example com.gts.java.XmlLoader :
// To get the stream :
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/com/gts/xml/MyXML.xml");
// Or the URL :
URL xml = this.getClass().getResource("/com/gts/xml/MyXML.xml");Hope it helps.

You can't get the real path from a virtual
path..that's why you have virtual paths.

How to get the real path of the application in a JavaBean?

Hi everyone,
I know this has been asked several times before, but I I am not really satisfied with the answers... :-)
I am writing a webapp which uses XML files for storing information, the "business" logic is in JavaBeans. So far I just used hardcoded paths, now I will have to put the thing on a server and need a better solution.
I understand I can use getServletContext().getRealpath() but that doesn't work in a Bean.
One solution would be to fill a (hidden) field calling that and passing the field to the Bean, but I don't really like that solution.
I am using Java Studio Creator 2 (Update 1), isn't there a way to access the ApplicationBean instance in my JavaBeans? As I understand it, I could get the path from there as well.
Thanks!

When you create the bean that contains the business logic you will have to pass in the real path either as a constructor parameter or by setting a property of the bean.

How to get the Real Path of a file which is accessed by URL?

iam using tomcat6.0.
I have a file xyz.xml at the top of the webapplication HFUSE which i can able to access by URL
http://localhost:8080/HFUSE/xyz.xml
My problem is how to get the realpath of the file "xyz.xml" for reading and writing purposes.
I tried various things but i could not able to successfully solved the problem?
1) File f = new File("/xyz.xml");
print(f.getAbsolutePath()) ============== it is not fetching the file @ http://localhost:8080/HFUSE/xyz.xml rather it is creating a file
at the root of the drive where eclipse is running.
2) File f = new File("xyz.xml");============> this is also not working , it is creating the file xyz.xml in the eclipse directory ..................
Can anyone please guide on this problem?

RevertInIslam wrote:
If you want your context root(i.e HFUSE)
use this:
request.getContextPath() //where request is HttpServletRequest object to get the needful path.
e.g:
File f = new File(request.getContextPath()+"/xyz.xml");//it will create the file inside HFUSE.
Hope this helps.

BWrong. The File constructor expects an absolute filesystem path. The HttpServletRequest#getContextPath() doesn't return the absolute filesystem path, it only returns the relative path from the current context root. Use ServletContext#getRealPath() instead, it returns the absolute filesystem path for the given relative path from the current context root.
File file = new File(servletContext.getRealPath("/"), "xyz.xml");

I can´t get the values that i put in the input text when i open the jsp in my web server, (before press the submit button i write text in the input text), i only get indexes 0,1,2,3 ... What is wrong?

How to get the value from a database without submitting a jsp page

I have a jsp which has a text box depending on the value entered I want to get the value from a database for other two fields with out submitting jsp page. I am using struts.
Thanks For any assistance provided.

Alright,here is an example for you for the first case.
Present.jsp:
============
<html:html>
<head>
<title><html:message key="page.title"/></title>
</head>
<body>
<html:form action="ChangeEvent.do">
<html:hidden property="method"/>

Emp Id:<html:text property="empId" size="5" onkeyup="if(true){this.form.elements[0].value='populateDetails';this.form.submit();}"/>
Emp Name:<html:text property="empName" size="10" />
Email Address:<html:text property="email" size="10" />
<html:submit>Submit</html:submit>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>struts-config.xml:
==================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">
<struts-config>

<form-beans>
<form-bean name="employeeFormBean" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
   <form-property name="empId" type="java.lang.String"/>
   <form-property name="empName" type="java.lang.String"/>
   <form-property name="email" type="java.lang.String" />
</form-bean>
</form-bean>
<action-mappings>
<action path="/ChangeEvent" type="Test.GetChangeAction" name="employeeFormBean" scope="request" parameter="method">

<forward name="success" path="/Present.jsp"></forward>
<forward name="failed" path="/error.jsp"></forward>
</action>
</action-mappings>
</struts-config>GetChangeAction.java:
=====================
public class GetChangeAction extends DispatchAction{
public ActionForward populateDetails(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        DynaActionForm dForm = (DynaActionForm)form;
        String empId = dForm.get("empId");
        // calling Model / Db and then getting back Employee Details
        EmployeeBean eb = ModelUtils.getDetails(empId);
        // Updating form bean by updating values from the Model
        dForm.set("empName".eb.getEmpName());
        dForm.set("email".eb.getEmail());
        return mapping.findForward("success");
}well to me this should work regardless to any browser but we need to make sure we put in our logic properly.

Et the real path from one filter (servlet)

Whit this:
String rutaDisco = ((HttpServletRequest)request).getRealPath("/");
i get the real path, but this is deprecated.
which is the equivalent in 1,4?
how can i use the equivalent for loading the real path?
thanks

In your Filter call:     ServletContext application = null;
     public void init(FilterConfig config) {
          application = config.getServletContext();
     }Using the ServletContext you can call ServletContext.getRealPath(String path);

How to get the complete path of the file that is selected using FormFile

i m working on struts..
i hv used FormFile like
<html:file property="xsdpath" value="Browse" />
need to get the whole path that i will select using browse button
for example d:\foldername\filename.java
but FormFile Api has a method getFileName(); which returns the filename, for getting the absolute path wat has to be done.
please reply bak soon
thanks in advance

here i use formfile <html:file> just to allow the
user to select a xml file .
so i need to get the whole path of the selectedfile
to parse the xml file.No you dont.
You would definitely benefit from further reading on
file upload.
<html:file> tag renders an HTML <input> element of
type file.
When a user uploads a file, this file is sent as a
stream of data, which a program (jsp/servlet) on the
server, reads and stores the data back in the form
of a file on the server.
Any server program that needs to parse the file,
should do so on the file stored on the server.
There's no point in knowing the absolute path of the
file on the client machine. If a server program can
parse a file on the client machine, why upload the
file in first case ? Get the drift ?
i also want to show my user the path he hadselected.
If you have such a requirement, then yes.
But it sounds weird to me. If you see my response
above, you will realize that the server has a copy of
the client's file uploaded and then parsed. What if
the client has changed his file after upload ?
cheers,
ram.I also have a requirement to get the whole filepath of the file selected and place this information into a table. From FormFile I can only retreive the absolute filename
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks, dam

Have a problem in getting the servlet path

hi
i wanna get the complete path to my servlet folder in TomcatServer
like http://localhost:8084/Test can anyone tell me how can i get it plz.

try ServletContext.getRealPath
Returns a String containing the real path for a given virtual path. For example, the path "/index.html" returns the absolute file path on the server's filesystem would be served by a request for "http://host/contextPath/index.html", where contextPath is the context path of this ServletContext.
The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators. This method returns null if the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a .war archive).

How can I find the real path to servlet class

Hi,
I am facing an issue. Am in the process of creating a filter which would send a Last-modified along with the header. For this I will be checking the is-modified-since
header and lastModified date of the file.
The problem I am facing is that after taking the file part from the request and checking
the lastmodified date, it gives error. This is because i use,
String real_path = getServletContext().getRealPath(request.getServletPath());
and it would return the path to servlet-name and not to servlet-class, since servlet-name
is not physically present. It would return an error value.
Is there any way which I could find the real path to my servlet class file ?

Remember you should not take the last mnodified date
of the class file or the jar file that contain the
class as the value for the getLastModified method
becouse the last modified date that should be used in
the caching is the last modified date of the dynamic
content that the servlet is about to prodice.
The same class file will produce different content
for different requests if not why do you use
servlets you can directly use the static contentThanks for a valuable remark.
Hence our getLastModified() often returns System.currentTimeMillis() result.

Get the context path with jspx

How can I get the context path using jspx?
with jsp I get using scriptlet
<%=request.getContextPath()%>but it didn't validate with xhtml
thanks

I'm really unfamiliar with JSP Documents and I don't know if nesting the tags would be valid. Why don't you use EL in that case?
${pageContext.request.contextPath} will print out the value you need.
P.S. In case it just prints out as is without being evaluated, take a look at these:
