Although there is nothing wrong in principle with doing this, I
***strongly*** urge you to write your applications in a manner that does
not depend on it. Otherwise, you are locked in to Tomcat forever, because
there is no guarantee you will be able to control the current working
directory of any other server.
Also, patches should be posted to the TOMCAT-DEV list to make sure that
they get noticed.
