Where is root directory in Tomcat web application?

I have a web application using Tomcat whose index.jsp needs to read some data from a textfile. However, I'm not quite sure as to where the root directory is.

Can anybody give me any insight, material, and/or solutions as to where this directory is and how it is decided that it must be there.

Solution

  • CATALINA_HOME is Tomcat directory. Look at folder %CATALINA_HOME%\work\Catalina\localhost\web_application_name\ or %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\ROOT
