have your external process use a script that points to the webdirectory
or if you use servlets, set an init param in the web.xml or in
server.xml set an environment variable:
<!-- Test entry for demonstration purposes -->
<Environment name="simpleValue" type="java.lang.Integer" value="30"/>
or set a session variable in a jsp

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
