How do I get the application path.

I can see it in the debugger through the ApplicationContextFacade, but
not sure how to access it.

I need the path of the application to pass on to a report generator.

But, to answer this particular question, the context path of an application
is available from the ExternalContext associated with the current request.
In a view controller (or other class that extends AbstractFacesBean), you
can call:

   String contextPath = getExternalContext().getContextPath();

or, in any sort of backing bean, you can use the more verbose approach:

   FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
   String contextPath = context.getExternalContext().getContextPath();
