AW: getRealPath() returns an empty string

[Akacem Mohammed]

Hi stuart,

now it works, but the reason I didn't see my error is that the Methode getRealPath( 
String str) takes also a string as parameter although a String is returned and that 
confused me.

thanks

Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,

How do you know that getRealPath() is returning an empty string, given
that your code fragment is ignoring the return value entirely? :-)

Subject: getRealPath() returns an empty string


Hallo ,

In a methode in the class MyServiceSoapBindingImpl I try to get the
realpath so I can read from a config file some information , but i get
an empty string for realpath. below is a code snippet.




    ServletEndpointContextImpl endpoint= new
ServletEndpointContextImpl();
    
    ServletContext cont= endpoint.getServletContext();
    System.out.println(" cont.getServletContextName = " +
cont.getServletContextName());
    String realpath = new String();
    cont.getRealPath(realpath);
    
    System.out.println(" realpath =" + realpath);



Problem: I want to get the realpath so I can read from a config file
some information , but i get an empty string for realpath.

thanks for any help
