How to get the real content root of (tomcat) server

[colinzhao]

In my eclipse project, I created a folder "calc" under public (public/calc) and I imported a few files in there.

In hosted mode, how do I open a file in this directory (public/calc) from within my service servlet? In web mode, I can get the real path to the folder using getServletContext().getRealPath()+"/calc". The problem is that doing so in hosted mode will give me

$myprojectroot/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/calc

which does not exist.

Hi,

I had the same problem, and I solved it by using external tomcat.

See this http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/338c4b765d7dfc39/c9382d0e65266248?lnk=gst&q=external+tomcat&rnum=1#c9382d0e65266248

I hope this will help you.
