See following example to get the real server file path via servletRequest.getRealPath("/"). However, warning is prompt and complained that this method is deprecated.
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
public class DisplayAction {
private HttpServletRequest servletRequest;
public String execute() {
//The method getRealPath(String) from the type ServletRequest is deprecated
String filePath = servletRequest.getRealPath("/");
}
@Override
public void setServletRequest(HttpServletRequest arg0) {
this.servletRequest = arg0;
}
}
Instead, you should use servletRequest.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/") (refer to the end of the reference site for detail). See updated example again.
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
public class DisplayAction {
private HttpServletRequest servletRequest;
public String execute() {
servletRequest.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
}
@Override
public void setServletRequest(HttpServletRequest arg0) {
this.servletRequest = arg0;
}
}
was really helpful 🙂
how to get full path from a file input field in jsp??
Hi,
I have 1 question.
You used the session to get the context object, while we can directly use the static method “getServletContext” of the “ServletActionContext” class.
Is there any difference between them and what should be the aproach to use this.
nice it worked for me..
