How to get the path of current directory?

I have the Java servlet to produce text file, and it produces to C:\hello.txt,
but I want to output in the current directory as the Java File:
i.e. C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30\webapps\ExtendedGUI\WEB-INF\classes
try
     PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("hello.txt"));
     out.println("HELLO");
     out.close();
catch(IOException e)
any ideas?? Thanks!!

The current directory is defined as the directory that you started your servlet container from. In your case, it was c:\. If you want it to fall into the same directory as your class files, I would start by finding out what TOMCAT_HOME or whatever container you're using is and adding to the directory until you get to your class directory. Make sense?
The easiest way is to read the output directory from a properties file as a resource or a hardcoded path.

  • How to get the path of the image stored in sap??

    Hi All
    The problem is
    While making an entry in standard there is a field called documents through which we attach our images in sap.
    How to get the path of the image stored with the corresponding order so that the image can be displayed while we are creating a report.
    I know how to upload the image while creating a report using docking control.
    I am not able to get the path of the image stored...
    Please Help
    Thanks in advance..
    Pooja

    I am not aware of exactly which tables are used for storing the attached doc. details, but we have worked in the similar requiremnent.
    What you can do is .... before uploading the image to any order, try swich on the SQL trace ST05 and after upload switch off.
    The log will display what are the tables involved while storing the image. And you can easily find out the image location.

  • How to get the footage's current frame number in expression?

    There are 2 layers.One is text layer,one is sequence layer.
    Footage has begun from the 20th frame.
    Therefore, the number of composition's current frame number and footage's frame number has shifted.
    I want to show footage's frame number in text layer . not composition's frame number.
    How to get the footage's current frame number in expression?
    Tatsuya

    >Footage has begun from the 20th frame.
    Do you mean that the footage layer has been trimmed (so that the start of the footage lines up with the start of the comp, but the first 19 frames are not visible), or moved to the left (so that frame 20 lines up with the comp's frame 0), or that the sequence actually begins with the 20th frame (at frame 0 of the comp), or something else?
    Are the frame rates of the comp and the footage the same?

    Dear all,
    I have a mega (big) doubt. I have manually inserted the Figures from the figure folders. Now i need, fully automated. So How can I get the Figure path
    Example :
    PMString path = "E://development/Figures/";
    now i checked, How many subFolders is there in "path", get the All Subfolders and check to the Article Name.
    Example
    Article Name == subFolder name then get the Files from the SubFolders(E://development/Figures/ChapterF/*.eps files").
    now I paste the Document using to For Loop.
    Please any one can suggest me, How can We get the Path in SDK.
    Note:
    Should I have to create the relative path by myself?
    No method supplied in SDK to do this directly?
    Please I need a help of this Query as soon as posible.

    When a file is uploaded, the file name is also submitted. The path of the file is available only to the machine within the Local Machine security zone. The value property returns only the file name to machines outside the Local Machine security zone. See About URL Security Zones for more information on security zones.
    i need to know on how to get the compelete path /directory of the filename
    using <input type="file"> tag You can't. Its a security thing.
    is there any other way to get an input file from a local host aside from <input type="file"> tag?No. Not using just html.
    You could always go into activex components, but thats different again.

  • How to get the path of the cache directory ?

    Hi everyone,
    I need to get the path of the cache directory to copy files into it (these files are security files that are necessary to encrypt data).
    Maybe there is a jnlp.jar to have object that implements a method getCachePath() ? But I can't find it.
    Any ideas ?. thanks.

    you can find the cache location by finding the location of the jar file you are running from:
    URL resource =
    this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("testResource");
    if (resource != null) {
    String s = resource.toString();
    if (s.startsWith("jar:")) {
    int index = s.indexOf("!");
    if (index > 4) {
    String fileurl = s.substring(4,index);
    if (fileurl.startswith("file:")) {
    String path = fileurl.substring(5);
    // now path is the path to the jar file in the cache containing the resource

  • How to get the number of current active external modes?

    hi all,
    I need to get the number of currently active external modes. This can be done by calling function THUSRINFO. But this only works propperly, if you are logged on only once. If you are logged on more than one time then the function returns several entries in the parameter USR_TABLE. The entries mainly differ in the first parameter TID (type UTID, INT4) "terminal-identification" but how can I know which is the valid one for my current session. Functions TERMINAL_ID_GET, SPH_TERMINAL_IDENTIFY and SPH_TERMINAL_ID_GET dont work.
    Or is there another way to get the number of active external sessions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Hi,

  • How to get the guid of currently opened page programatically

    Hi,
    Can any one of you please let me know how to get the guid of a page at database level which is opened currently?
    The requirement is I need to grab the url of a page which is currently opened by the user.
    Is there any way to get it from accessing the tables like wwv_things or wwpob_page$.
    Please suggest me how to get it.
    Thanks,
    Ravi.

    Hi Ravi,
    You may wanna explore the two API's (wwsbr_all_folders and wwsbr_all_items) and make a bridge to get the name of the portlets that appear on the page.
    something of the following nature should be enough to take you where you want to go. here c.name is the GUID of the item you are looking for.
    SELECT DISTINCT c.display_name,c.name,c.updatedate
    FROM portal.wwsbr_all_folders a, portal.wwsbr_all_items c
    WHERE a.LANGUAGE = 'us'
    AND a.id = c.folder_id
    AND a.caid = c.caid
    AND c.itemtype = 'baseportletinstance'
    AND a.Name LIKE 'MY_PAGE_NAME'
    order by 3 desc
    this will work in the portal but not in the sqlplus or any querying tool. for that purpose, it will work once you establish the context of user.
    hope that helps!
