I am trying to do something in contextDestroyed that requires the filesystem directory of the web application. However, once contextDestroyed has been called that path no longer exists.
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) { String path = event.getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); System.out.println(path); File file = new File(path); System.out.println("exists? " + (file.exists())); // returns false System.out.println("directory? " + (file.isDirectory())); // returns false System.out.println("readable? " + (file.canRead())); // returns false } Is there a way to access the webapp when the application is reloaded/stopped/undeployed but before Tomcat cleans up the temporary directory that contains app? thx andy For more info on what I'm trying to see http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=935948&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=webapp+reload&start=150&sid=d772baa08d3390eb5232ed4164d81125 (it's the post w the code in it and I'm just trying to test it out in my own app and see if it fixes anything) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
