s. Problem is, when Tomcat runs as
a service, the log files get put in \WINDOWS\System32 - not the nicest
place for clutter :-)

In the Servlet init() method you can call a method called getRealPath()
This will return the name of the directory where your webapp is deployed.
You may need to store this is a system property or a static classs for
future use as it's only availalble on startup.

It is typically up to Tomcat to create the "work"

be something wrong with your configuration. I would
check the log output to see if any errors are occurring.
I would also recommend upgrading to Tomcat 3.3 final.
