getRealPath problem

[Durham David Cntr 805CSS/SCBE]

Anyone know why getServletContext().getRealPath(/myApp) would return something like 
'c:\webapps\myApp\myApp'?   -- note the extra myApp at the end

Thanks

Dave

If your application is stored at c:\webapps\myApp, then
getServletContext().getRealPath(/) will return that directory.
Anything that you add to the end is literally appended to that path.
You would usually use this to create an absolute path to a file, etc.,
so no parsing is done on what follows that '/' to see if it is an
existing path
