title: How to get the full system path of a directory (not file) in Spring boot with Java 8
body: <p>I am coding in Spring Boot 1.5 with Java 8
  I have a directory on this path : </p>
  
  <pre><code>  C:\Users\me\IdeaProjects\MyApp\server\src\main\resources\static\documents\1\folder_a23
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know how i can get with a Java function this path as a String/File/Path/Stream.
  Is there a way to get this path as result of a search of "/folder_a23"  ?
  Thank you very much for every answer!</p>
