Re: creating a path from the container root

at the least,
a simple replace("/", "\\") shud do the job.

  Subject: creating a path from the container root


   I am trying to create a directory below the webapps\mywebapp directory. 

   

  I'am able to create directories with the java.io.File(new_directory)).mkdirs();  . (or mkdir())

   

  However, I want to create it under the webapps\mywebapp directory,

  To do this I need to get a path to the webapps\mywebapp directory so

  I used request.getContextPath()  which returns the correct path except that

  The directory mywebapp comes back with a forward slash (e.g. /mywebapp)

  When it should be a back slash (e.g. \mywebapp)

   

  I've tried using the java.io.File.separator to make it UNIX/windows independent but

  That doesn't work either!

   

  HELP!
