you can get the current path that the system, is using by doingFile file = new File(".");String path = file.getCanonicalPath();this will give the root dir

Actually new File(".") gives you the current working directory and not the "root" directory. But in any case it doesn't have anything to do with your web application.You (the OP) need to use the getRealPath() method of ServletContext.

new File(.) doesn't work because it returns the bin directory of the jboss directory on my computer.How can I access the ServletContext? - I work with a JSP-Site....please helpregards

Your JSP is still a servlet. And to get the ServletContext in a servlet it'sthis.getConfig().getContext()

Oh thank you very much, but when I use then the method getRealPath I have to quote a String as paramter for something like a virtual path because the getRealPath method requires a String as parameter.

But I want only to save a file with a specific name in my root directory of my web application....? - without quoting the whole path to the web application directory.

One more help?

regards
