How to get the real path of Java application at runtime?

filepath, java

Solution

Try;

String path = new File(".").getCanonicalPath();

Problem

I am creating a Java application where I am using log4j. I have given the absolute path of configuration log4j file and also an absolute path of generated log file(where this log file are generated). I can get the absolute path of a Java web application at run time via: ``` String prefix = getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); ``` but in the context of a normal Java application, what can we use?
