Displaying location with java?

damnyanks

Hey

I'm trying to make a client / server type application using java applets. I want to display where the applet is being run from (File path on server)

Can someone tell me how I would go about doing it ? I've no idea

Not quite the same, but you can get the current working directory (and some other useful info) with System.getProperty("user.dir")

EDIT: link updated

Thanks

Not exactly what I was looking for but gave me the right location to look in

System.getProperty("java.class.path",".");


By the way does anyone know some sort of search for the java api? Like to tell you about classes and what they can do. No search function with it. Would be handy

the api on http://www.java.sun.com covers everything no?

Sorry, the link was supposed to be directly to the list of system properties. I'm losing my ability to copy and paste

Was thinking something more along the lines of what microsoft have with MSDN

If you're a windows user, something I find really useful is the Java SDK docs as windows help files. These of course include a good index and search ability:
