I am using Tomcat 4.1.18 to run my Struts 1.1 app. 
 
I am using a configuartion file appname.xml  in the "webapps" folder to deploy the 
application along with a appname.war file.
 
Now the "Server Configuration Reference" of Tomcat has thie literature for Automatic 
application deployment.
"
<----

Any XML file in the directory defined by appBase (Application Base directory) is 
assumed to contain a Context element (and its associated subelements) for a single web 
application. The docBase attribute of this <Context> element will typically be the 
absolute pathname to a web applicationd directory, or the absolute pathname of a web 
application archive (WAR) file (which will not be expanded). 

----->"

True to the reference my war file does not expand. But I am having a problem when 
using 

servlet.getServletContext().getRealPath( "/" ) in one of my startup servlets.

This is returning null and so the app fails to load.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks
