Getting application path when launching a Jar

Hi,
very simple
how do you get the application path when launching a jar file?
NNiol

Unless you mean the standard application folder. That application path is an OS specific concept. On Windows systems, for example, you can get the application path by using System.getenv("ProgramFiles"); but that won't work on other systems.
If you're looking for a constant location to store data files, you'd do better to create an application-specific directory under System.getProperty("user.home");.
And if you're just looking for the place where your jar file is, you can successfully follow the previously given advice.

You can try this code to get all properties:
Properties props = System.getProperties();
Enumeration enum = props.propertyNames();
while(enum.hasMoreElements()){
String name = (String)enum.nextElement();
System.out.println("Prop Name: " + name + "\tValue: " + props.getProperty(name));
}And to find more about printing you can check this URL:

An FSSpec is the best we can do? Please tell me there's a way that doesn't use deprecated types and supports 64-bit? (Sorry, that's more of a rhetorical question to Adobe than directed at you).
#if __LP64__
typedef struct SPPlatformFileSpecification { /* this handles unicode file names */
FSRef mReference;
} SPPlatformFileSpecification;
#else
typedef struct SPPlatformFileSpecification { /* Various things are casting this to FSSpec, so make sure the layout matches */
/** The version number. */
FSVolumeRefNum vRefNum;
/** The unique identifier. */
SInt32 parID;
/** The file name string. */
StrFileName name;
} SPPlatformFileSpecification;
#endif
typedef struct SPPlatformFileSpecificationW { /* this handles unicode file names */
FSRef mReference;
} SPPlatformFileSpecificationW;
So I guess we only get modern types if we're 64 bits. I haven't touched an FSSpec in the last 8 years...

Probelm in getting absolute path of the application folder?

I have problem in getting the absolute path of the application folder.
I wriiten the following line in my action class:
String absPath = getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
when i run my application 'DTH' in Tomcat server, I am getting correct path :
C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\webapps\DTH
But when i run this application in weblogic server, I am getting null value for the above line.
Can any one help me in this?

public java.lang.String getRealPath(java.lang.String path)
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).
so, getRealPath() might not be a very good approach because of its different behavior when used from a war or exploded application.
What you could do is:
1. pass the path as a parameter inside web.xml (config files, log files etc)
2. For dynamic lookup of files you could make use of ClassLoader.getResource().
Hope it helps.

How to get the application path?

Does some body know how to get the application path in Java? Here is an example about what I'm thinking: Let's imagin the application is on "c:\try" or "c:\ProgramFiles\MyApp". My question is how can I find the path where the application is. Please give an example if you know the answer. Thank you so much.

Those two replies give you some useful directories, it's true, but maybe not what the OP asked. However the OP asked for something that doesn't have a meaning (applications don't have to be "on" any directory, whatever that might mean).
Would the OP like to describe what the actual problem is here?

Get installation path of web application from class file

Can anybody tell me how I can get the path on disk to the root of my web application from a class file. Im running under Tomcat 5.5 and I have 3 copies of the same webapp under 3 differenet directories:
C:\xxx\dev\yyy
C:\xxx\test\yyy
C:\xxx\prod\yyy
Based on which directory the web-app, I need to do a lookup on a properties file to pull the right jdbc connection to connect to the appropriate database. So it would be similar to using getServletContext().getRealPath("/") from a .jsp file.
Thanks,
Jason

Sorry for not clarifying. I have a properties file with name/value pairs. I know where this properties file is and I can do a lookup in it. In this file, I have jdbc connection names which point to corresponding jdbc resources in my context.xml file.
jdbcDevDatabase=jdbc/tfmDev
jdbcTestDatabase=jdbc/tfmTest
jdbcProdDatabase=jdbc/tfmProd
These connections are for dev, test and prod databases. Now based on where the web-app is installed on disk, i.e-dev dir, test dir, prod dir, I want to retrieve the corresponding connection. The problem is I don't know how to get a handle to the web apps real path on disk without access to the request object or using getServletContext().getRealPath("/") which are not available to me in a class file.
Thanks,
Jason

Get SBO Application Path

Good Morning,
I am looking for a method to get the path of my SBO application.
I need the path to automatically start a SBO-process.
Thanks for helping. Have a nice day!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
In order to get the installation directory you need to take two steps:
Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\sap" read the GUID of the required product, for example if you wish to get the installation directory of the client read the value of "SAP Business One Client Setup" the value is the installer GUID.
Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\GUID" (where instead of GUID you need to put the GUID from step 1) read the "InstallLocation" value.
Hope it helps
