Because the context path is the same for all versions - that's the whole point. If the context path were different, the *client* would have to know that to reach the new version. > If I do: servletContext.getRealPath(getServletName()); it prints: > C:\ApacheTomcat\apache-tomcat-7.0.42\webapps\demo##001\servlet-mapping-name The getRealPath() API is an abomination and should never be used. Some servlet deployments are on platforms without file systems, which is why it's allowed to return null. > I wanted to grab the demo##001 name and stick in the corner of my web > apps running in development, so users can see which version is deployed. Your webapp should have a build or version number included as part of your build mechanism. That number should not be associated with the deployment mechanism. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
