Hi André Warnie, Great thanks for your response.
But here, I am not writing anything inside the web application. 1. I have a flat file in the web application and it has some configurations details, which I use for the project. 2. Therefore, we are trying to read the configuration detail from that file. 3. And as I mentioned earlier it works fine until tomcat 7. Now, we are planning to upgrade to tomcat 8.0.14 and facing this issue. Please let me know about your valuable thoughts/suggestions. Thanks, Sasi Kumar M. -----Original Message----- From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 2:29 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Reg. getRealPath("/") _ How does the result of this method differ in Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8 Sasikumar Muralikrishnan wrote: > Hi Team, > > Using this method > > getServletContext().getRealPath("/") > > returns '\' at the end when I run my project in Tomcat 7 whereas it is not > working as such in Tomcat 8. > > For example, > In Tomcat 7 it returns as "D:\Tomcat\webapps\project\" > In Tomcat 8 it returns as "D:\Tomcat\webapps\project" > > At present the project is in production so, I am unable to change the code > in every part(where i use getRealPath("/")).

I do not know the answer to your question. But maybe now would be a good time to examine why you are using getServletContext().getRealPath(), and to browse the following thread for some good reasons not to be doing that. http://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/5vfsnf56w2r5gz6q --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
