dynamic path in java application

Question

I want to specify the path dynamically. myapp/CopyFolder and myapp/RunFolder's are inside application like myapp/WEB-INF. The code I have given below is in .java file(in eclipse) and in .class file(in tomcat inside myapp/WEB-INF/classname/packagename/). My deployment is in tomcat.

 try {
        functionNamesObject.Integration(
                ".txt",
                path+"\\CopyFolder",
                path+"\\RunFolder",
                "app.exe",
                "Input.txt"
        );

I want path to be dynamic when I call above function. I tried with getResource("MyClass.class") ,new File("").getAbsolutePath(); and System.getProperty("user.dir") but no use. Is there any other way?

I answered this in another one of your questions. CopyFolder won't exist by default on an installation. You will need to create it manually. As such you will know where you create it, so hard code it into your app. — Sotirios Delimanolis

do you want to know the deployment directory (webapps/application) or the WEB-INF folder of your deployed app? — Katona

@SotiriosDelimanolis yes I have to create CopyFolder and RunFolder then I will place the files I want to use there. — niren

@niren I think you can get it with getServletContext.getRealPath("") in your servlet. — Katona

You can get the path value as below:

URL resource = getClass().getResource("/");
String path = resource.getPath();

This will return the absolute path to to your myApp/WEB-INF/classes directory.
