How to get the current path/directory

Hey,
I was wondering how to figure out the current path or directory where my Application is running (stored) in! I know there is a statement like getCodebase() for Applets to get the actual path, but I couldn't find anything similar for regular Applications. I think I can not just use a absolute path, since it might run on different os with different file seperator (like /root or c:\). Any help is welcome!
Thank you very much,
Marc

Try this ...
System.out.println("current directory = " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
[/code}

How to get the current path of my application in java ?

how to get the current path of my application in java ?
thanks

To get the path where your application has been installed you have to do the following:
have a class called "what_ever" in the folder.
then you do a litte:
String path=
what_ever.class.getRessource("what_ever.class").toString()
That get you a string like:
file:/C:/Program Files/Cool_program/what_ever.class
Then you process the result a little to remove anything you don't want:
path=path.substring(path.indexOf('/')+1),path.lastIndexOf('/'))
//Might be a little error here but you should find out //quickly if it's the case
And here you go, you have a nice
C:/Program Files/Cool_program
which is the path to your application.

Start reading here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/index.html
Try looking at classes in the java.io.* package. You will probably be interested in things like Reader, InputStreamReader, BufferedReader. Other classes which might be helpful are:
java.lang.StringBuffer
java.net.URL
All of these things are documented at the above link -- it's an invaluable resource. If you find things you don't understand about these classes, then consult your book, search the internet, and search this forum. If none of that helps, THEN post a specific question to this forum (and no sooner).

How to get the current application root directory

Hi Experts,
I am deploying an ADF Application to a Standalone WLS 10.3. During development I am using Integrated WLS (which comes with JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.0). During development, I configured my application to create log files in my local machine (where Integrated WLS is running) by using absolute path for my log file. Now, I am moving to a standalone instance of WLS for testing (before moving to production).
Now I need to keep my log files under my application root directory. Please let me know how to get the absolute path of the deployed application root directory from WLS ENV/System property into my application's Java Code.
I tried the below java code,
Current weblogic server name is: " + System.getProperty("weblogic.Name") --> This gives me the name of the server where my application is running.
Current weblogic server name is: " + System.getProperty("weblogic.Root") --> This returns NULL. How to get the Root directory of my application using some system property inside my application at runtime??
Thanks

One method is to create a File(""); and do getPath() on it.
At least it's worked for me.

Hi,
event.target.path.toString(); will give the full path including the filename.
event.target.documentFileName.toString(); will give the filename only.
Good luck,

I want to get the current working directory(e.g.
c:\Tomcat5.0\webapps\)
If this is a web application you're talking about and you want the directory where that application is installed, that's almost certainly not the CWD. It might be one of the context or whatever variables that's available to servlets. Look in the servlet API and see what's there.

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.

How to get the current tree element (node/childnode/childnode/...) ?

Hello!
I'm trying to create a kind of a navigation tree for my application.
It should represent some elements of an XML structure and some other nodes for other options.
The binding with the context is not a problem, I can create the tree up to all the levels I want to.
The problem now is, that I don't know, how to get the "current tree element", when there is any action.
For example:
public void onActionSelect(...) {
String test = wdContext.currentTreeNodeElement().getText();
wdThis.wdGetContext().currentContextElement().setSelectedElement(test);
With this method I can get the text of the "first level nodes". If I want to get the "second level node", I can do
String test = wdContext.currentTreeNodeElement().currentChildElement.getText();
..and for the next levels so on.
Isn't there any general method to get the information of the selected element without knowing before, whether it is a nodeElement or a nodeElement.currentChildElement or a nodeElement.currentChildElement.currentChildElement, ...?
Greetings,
Ramó

Hi,
if you following that pdf ,
i think your not implemented the below code in DomodifyView method
if (firstTime) {
      IWDTreeNodeType treeNode = (IWDTreeNodeType) view.getElement("TheNode");
      /* The following line is necessary to create parameter mapping from parameter "path" to parameter "selectedElement".
Parameter "path" is of type string and contains the string representation of the tree element (its corresponding context element to be exact)
that raised the onAction event. Parameter "selectedElement" is of type IWDNodeElement (or extends it) and is defined as parameter in the event handler
that handles the onAction. The parameter mapping defined here translates the String "path" into the corresponding context element that then can
be accessed within the event handler
      treeNode.mappingOfOnAction().addSourceMapping("path", "selectedElement");
      /* The following line is necessary to create parameter mapping from parameter "path" to parameter "element".
Parameter "path" is of type string and contains the string representation of the tree element (its corresponding context element to be exact)
that raised the onLoadChildren event. Parameter "element" is of type IWDNodeElement (or extends it) and is defined as parameter in the event handler
that handles the onLoadChildren. The parameter mapping defined here translates the String "path" into the corresponding context element that then can
be accessed within the event handler
      treeNode.mappingOfOnLoadChildren().addSourceMapping("path", "element");
please cross check once.
Thanks,

How to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???

hai, how to get the full image directory when i upload the image to web page???
here is the example:
<form action="uploadfile.jsp" method="post">
image<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
<%
String s=request.getParameter("image");
%>
<%=s%>
</form>
i upload the image from C:\image\center.gif. i use request.getParameter just can get the image name like "center.gif". Can anybody help me how to get the full path name. Thanks a lot..

There is no need to get the path. It is also fairly pointless as the server cannot access the client's local file system.
Carefully read this article how you can upload files the right way: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/11/multipartfilter.html

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?
