i am working with wst 1.5. From out of a plugin i would like to get a reference to the web content directory of a

In the example code above the nature is not null.
The project relative path for WEB-INF is correct,
ModuleCoreNature nature = ModuleCoreNature.getModuleCoreNature( module.getProject() );
IVirtualComponent vc = ComponentCore.createComponent( module.getProject() );
IVirtualFolder root = vc.getRootFolder();
IVirtualFolder webInf = root.getFolder( "WEB-INF" );
IPath path = webInf.getProjectRelativePath();
webInf.create( IResource.BACKGROUND_REFRESH, monitor );
IVirtualFolder clasDir = webInf.getFolder( "classes" );
clasDir.create( IResource.BACKGROUND_REFRESH, monitor );
here its getting wrong for me, because exist is "true" but the path is returned as "/src"
boolean exist = clasDir.exists();
path = clasDir.getProjectRelativePath();
return path;
I mean, at the moment i am simply using the WEB-INF entry and pull down later, but i would like to understand.

Any Java related content in your project is assumed to be destined for
the WEB-INF/classes directory. This means the Java "content" should go
under the "Java Source" folder you specified when you created the
Dynamic Web Project. The default value for this "Java Source" folder is
"src". What you are seeing is the mapping that "redirects" build
artifacts that come from this "src" directory to the "WEB-INF/classes"
directory when the project is published to a server or assembled into a
war file.
Cheers,
Larry

Then another question which i did not goog so far neither:
Can i gain a handle to the webapp directory of the server ( e.g. tomcat ) where the project is published into?

I'm not aware of any public API that would suffice. What is it you are
trying to do?

Hi Larry,
thank you for your help.
I am trying to solve our internal problem which was discussed earlyer under "extending dynamic webproject".
In short:
One dynamic Webproject A is extending another dynamic WebProject B. WebProject B uses s Java project.
Coming from sysdeo i am used to that all classes of all projects are synchronized into tomcat.
With wst i read and improved with the thread above that this is not possible.
Thus i started a plugin with the extendion point org.eclipse.wst.server.core.publishTasks.
My first idea was to copy the classes of the referenced projects into the WEB-INF/classes of the WebContent. I hoped
that - if my publish task would be processed before all others - that the copies would be synchronized by the standard
publish into the webapp. I know now that this is not working.
Thus now i want to copy the classes into the webapp directly and that for i would like to gain a handle onto the webapp
directory.
For now i will make something like a semi static solution for our internal use only, publishing into
"tomcatInstallDir/webapp/projectname/WEB-INF/classes". But at the end i would like to reach a dynamic solution.
best, Michael

If it helps, the job of the publish task wouldn't be to copy the classes
of the referenced project to WebProject A (assuming I understand you
correctly), but to the destination of the publish. Your "source"
location for the classes in WebProject B wouldn't be the virtual folder
for its "WEB-INF/classes", but I believe, simply its Java output folder.
Cheers,
Larry
