From the Servlet API there is no way to access the war file name. The war file name is different from the context root. And , even the ServletContext.getRealPath() is the extract location of the war file, which can be different.

If the WAR is expanded, you could use ServletContext.getRealPath() in combination with File.getName() to obtain the expanded folder name. This will be the same as the WAR file name.

String name = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/")).getName();

ServletContext.getContextPath() is the way to get the context path. It can differ from the war-file name, but I can't think of a reason you may need the war file name.
