Retrieve the web app root path in JSF Managed Bean

Question

Im trying to access the example/web folder (see below in the image) in a jsf managed bean but cant seem to find a way to do it

Answer 1

Try:

String relativePath="/resources/temp/";
String absolutePath=   FacesContext.getCurrentInstance.getExternalContext().getRealPath(relativePath);
File file = new File(absolutePath);

to get real path.

Create a tmp file in resources/temp/ to avoid any exception.
