getRealPath() is returning the actual path in the local system, but returns null when deployed with a .war file.

Can anyone provide me with an alternative for this? It would be very helpful if you showed some sample code too.

For a start, ServletRequest.getRealPath(String path) is deprecated. The appropriate replacement is:
ServletContext context = session.getServletContext();
String realContextPath = context.getRealPath(request.getContextPath());
However, the API docs for ServletContext.getRealPath(String path) state:
"This method returns
nullif the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a .war archive)."
So the API is fulfilling its contract! However, all is not lost, as you can load a resource from the WAR using the following method, as defined in ServletContext:
ServletContext context = session.getServletContext();
InputStream is = context.getResourceAsStream("generate.xml");
Bit late, but I came across this question when I was having this issue in WebLogic. My solution was to add this to my weblogic.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-web-app>
<container-descriptor>
<show-archived-real-path-enabled>true</show-archived-real-path-enabled>
</container-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>
I found this solution better for when you don't want to (or can't) edit the configuration on the WebLogic server.

do you use Weblogic?
If yes - then this is a Weblogic issue which you may fix in Weblogic admin console ->Domain->Web Applications - click the checkbox "Archived Real Path Enabled".
