Finding a folders parent folder

Question

How can you find out what a folders parent folder is ?
The view WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS has the folder information (id, name etc.) but doesn't have anything to indicate what the parent folder is.
This view runs off the table WWV_USER_CORNERS which contains a parentid column.
Is it best to create a custom view to query on or has anyone used a different view with the information in ?
Thanks in advance
Simon.

Did not realize that wwsbr_all_folders view does not expose the parent_id!!
I have updated the view script, see below, to expose a parent_folder_id column.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS AS
SELECT c.id,
c.siteid caid,
c.language language,
c.parenid parent_folder_id
c.name name,
c.title display_name,
c.topicid category_id,
c.topic_siteid category_siteid,
c.description ,
c.type type_id,
c.type_siteid type_siteid,
c.base_type base_type_id,
c.is_portlet is_portlet,
c.is_caching_on is_caching_on,
c.seq sub_folder_sequence,
c.displayinparent display_in_parent_folder,
c.itemversioning,
c.settingssetid style_id,
c.settingssetsiteid style_caid,
u.url url_value,
decode(c.base_type,3,c.value,null) search_value,
decode(c.base_type,4,c.value,null) plsql_value,
c.image title_image_name,
c.rolloverimage rollover_image_name,
c.titleimage banner_image_name ,
c.navigationcornerid navigation_bar_id,
c.navbarsiteid navigation_bar_caid,
c.ispublic is_public,
c.haveitemsecurity item_level_security,
c.type_display_full display_full_screen,
c.plsql_executor plsql_folder_executor,
c.createdate,

FROM WWV_USER_CORNERS C,
WWSBR_URL$ U
WHERE c.value = u.url(+) and
c.siteid = u.object_siteid(+)
null
