Servoy Forum

Hi,

I am trying to get the location on the server of the Tomcat context that the Servoy server is running on. I have tried to use the UserManager plugin (plugins.UserManager.Server().servoyDirectory) but on Linux (not sure for other platforms) this just returns the {TOMCAT_USER_HOME}/.servoy/server/{TOMCAT_CONTEXT} directory which in my case is /opt/tomcat/.servoy/server/V8Server. The actual location of the tomcat instance is /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.33/webapps/V8Server. I know it would be possible to construct the actual location using the UserManager info, extracting the context info and appending to the known location of the tomcat installation but I am looking to find a generic way of achieving this so that if the version of the tomcat server changes then I do not have to modify the code.

Can anyone help by suggesting the best way to do this?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

Try this:

Code: Select all

application.output(Packages.java.lang.System.getProperty("catalina.base"));

Hope this helps.
