How to get the real path in SEAM?

Does anyone know how can I get the current real path in SEAM? I want to read a file from web resource.

In strtus, there is a way to get the real path:

getServlet().getServletContext().getRealPath("")

What about in SEAM?

You could always cast

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()

to a ServletContext and move on from there. There might also be some seam util class that can do this shorter.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it, but I got the ClassCastException exception. Do you have any idea?

I resloved that, it should be

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContex().getContex()
