Hi all, first post here.

I had a dickens of a time finding where Tomcat (5.5.9) was sticking my
serialized object files (Java 1.5). When starting Tomcat on Win, it writes
them to C:\WINDOWS\system32. When starting via command line (dbl-click
tomcat5.exe), it puts them in the same dir (C:\Tomcat\bin). 

Is there a good way to change the default path for a new File()? The docs
seem to ambiguously state that the default is either the dir where the JRE
was launched from, as well as System.getProperty("user.dir").

How about a better way to solve my problem? Add a new system property? Docs
state that system property changes don't persist across application
invocations. Keep the path to my custom serialized object location in my
own settings file and read it? Or should I just forget the whole notion and
stick with whatever the default is?

Thanks,
NAT
