Current Working Directory

[Thomas Davie <ta...@student.cs.york.ac.uk>]

Hi,
   I'm writing an java servlet using tomcat as my server.  I have been 
having some problems with the current working directory.  It would 
appear that if I use relative pathnames at any point in my app they are 
relative not to the directory that my app is in, but instead they are 
relative to the directory from which I start tomcat.  e.g. one file I 
look for is web/Conversion.xsl, if I start tomcat from root, the app 
looks for the file /web/Conversion.xsl, if I start it from the tomcat 
home directory then it looks in $TOMCAT_HOME/web/Conversion.xsl.  Does 
anyone know why this behaviour exists and if it is possible to have it 
relative to my app instead?

TIA

Bob
