Hi there,

I have one problem... We have to execute external Java process from JAR archive 
included in our web application directory. The problem is, that all system 
dependant functions are relative to tomcat home directory. And - when our 
application is deployed outside tomcat directory via server.xml context 
definition - we cannot find a way to get path to our web directory...

I am not sure if I am expressing myself clear, so example...

I have web app with structure:

someDir/web:
  WEB-INF
  META-INF
  dirWithArchive
    externalProgram.jar
  ...

which is deployed OUTSIDE tomcat. I need to execute such code:

Process = new ProcessBuilder("java -jar 
some/path/to/someDir/web/dirWithArchive/externalProgram.jar".split("\\s+").start();

from within struts action or struts plugin. HOW can I find a path without 
specifying it manualy (it's problematic because of different environments we 
deploy our application to).

TIA
