Hi, I believe that if you access it via a mapping, that's how you will see its location. So if you go to the real location in the browser, i.e. /Jaxp/JSPTransformExample.jsp, you will get that location instead of the mapped one.
In general, you are not guaranteed to have access to the server's mappings, much less the ability to introspect them as you would like in this use case. A better approach may be to use getResource() and/or getResourceAsStream(), as that would give you the resource and would work in a WAR, which the getRealPath() approach won't.
