Another weird behavior from weblogic when webapp is deployed as WAR. ServletContext.getRealPath() returns null when deployed as WAR but it works ok when deployed as exploded. There are two ways we can fix this issue when you still want to deploy as WAR but would like to get over with this issue:
1. Go to server admin console->Domain-> Web applications. Click the checkbox of Archived Real Path Enabled. This should make an entry into domain config.xml as below.
<web-app-container>
<show-archived-real-path-enabled>true</show-archived-real-path-enabled>
</web-app-container>
2. Second option is at webapp level by updating weblogic.xml as below:
<container-descriptor>
<show-archived-real-path-enabled>true</show-archived-real-path-enabled>
</container-descriptor>
The value of <show-archived-real-path-enabled> set in the web app has precedence over the value set at the domain level. The default value of this property is false.

ReplyDeleteVery much useful tip . Thanks a ton !!!!
ReplyDeleteI am working on developing a servlet in JDeveloper 11g which needs to "know" the physical path to the Web Content folder. I kept getting "null" when calling ServletContext.getRealPath() and was totally baffled. Following your second option was the "best fit" solution for me and worked like a charm. Thanks so much for posting this!

ReplyDeleteHey..Nice tip...But still the the classes under the war/waeb-inf/classes is empty after installing the app..Calling realPath(/WEB-INF/classes/) gives me the path properly, but under the classes nothing is there..Any idea?

ReplyDeleteLooks like this will be useful. Well my problem is similar but for tomcat 7. Will anyone know, how to get rid of getRealpath("/") returning null.
ReplyDeleteyou can see your class in a jar file named _wl_cls_gen.jar. this is created by server. you can see this jar in jar folder in your web-inf.
