You can get this information from your
ServletContext.getRealPath("/") and that will be the
directory of your web application context on the
server in which your web application is running. You
can also use other methods such as
YourServletClass.getResource("/your/package/YourServletClass.class")
and if in a jar file parse out the jar file path then
get it's parent or if it's a pure file URL then get
the parent of that file. I do that sometimes when
it's classes which can run in a web server or
standalone. Anyways, those are options that work.
