This is a simple example on how to get the WEB-INF directory path in a J2EE web application.

public class MyClassName{

private static final String WEBINF = "WEB-INF";

public String getWebInfPath(){

String filePath = "";

URL url = MyClassName.class.getResource("MyClassName.class");
String className = url.getFile();

filePath = className.substring(0,className.indexOf(WEBINF) + WEBINF.length());
return filePath;
}

}
