Try

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath()

for build relative url's to resources in your app.

If you want the real path...

ServletContext ctx = (ServletContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
            .getExternalContext().getContext();
String realPath = ctx.getRealPath("/");
