Tomcat is behaving the way the documentation says to act.  The argument you pass
to getRealPath() should be relative to the *context*, not to the *server*.  The
way to get the answer you want is like this:

  String relative = request.getServletPath();
  if (request.getPathInfo() != null)
    relative += request.getPathInfo();
  String realPath = getServletContext().getRealPath(relative);

or run your application as the ROOT web-app, in which case context-relative and
server-relative paths are the same.
