title: Where is the work directory of embedded tomcat for a spring boot / spring mvc application?
body: <p>I would like to ask where is the location where you can see the work directory of a  spring boot / spring mvc applicaiton. Specifically I want to know Transpiled JSP files converted to java files. </p>
  
  <p>I can see the class files inside the target directory, but cannot find the transpiled jsp files. Is there a class call where I can see it in my environment? Like System.getProperty("user.dir") or new java.io.File(".").getCanonicalPath(). I tried both and it only showed me the code path.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I know the Eclipse Server path. But in spring boot, it does not seem to run using a server instance of tomcat. So the following path is not existing?</p>
  
  <p>The following directory is also blank.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>projectworkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/</p>
