How to Get Tomcat Directory Path in Java

Let’s start with this program: http://crunchify.com/how-to-run-java-program-automatically-on-tomcat-startup/

We will use the same Java Program and modify it to give you Tomcat Directory Path in Java and lot more.

package com.crunchify.tutorials;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

/**
 * @author Crunchify.com
 */

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class CrunchifyServletExample extends HttpServlet
{

    public void init() throws ServletException
    {
          System.out.println("----------");
          System.out.println("---------- CrunchifyExample Servlet Initialized successfully ----------");
          System.out.println("----------");

          System.out.println("\nApp Deployed Directory path: " + this.getServletContext().getRealPath("/"));
          System.out.println("getContextPath(): " + this.getServletContext().getContextPath());
          System.out.println("Apache Tomcat Server: " + this.getServletContext().getServerInfo());
          System.out.println("Servlet API version: " + this.getServletContext().getMajorVersion() + "." +this.getServletContext().getMinorVersion());
          System.out.println("Tomcat Project Name: " + this.getServletContext().getServletContextName());
    }
}

Output:

----------
---------- CrunchifyExample Servlet Initialized successfully ----------
----------
