How to get APP_INSTALL_ROOT WAS_INSTALL_ROOT at runtime?

--------------------------------

Hello,

I am writing a web application running in websphere and I want to get ${APP_INSTALL_ROOT} and ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT} websphere environment variable at runtime.

I tried to use

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();

String root=(String) ctx.lookup(/"java:comp/env/WAS_INSTALL_ROOT/");

but it doesn't work. Any idea?

-Thanks

set these as JVM arguments in websphere and get using system.getproperty.

I mean reading APP_INSTALL_ROOT info at runtime. APP_INSTALL_ROOT is defined in websphere environment variable at node scope.

I am getting ConfigService /"VariableSubstitutionEntry/" to retrieve the data. But it doesn't work for me. I just can get WAS_CELL_NAME at cell level scope.
