If you need more than Chuck's suggestion, all the configuration information about webapps (i.e. directories where classes, files, and and documents live) is already available via Tomcat MBeans. This will eliminate the need for an environment variable and create flexibility. You can use JConsole (if you are using Java 5) to understand how to find your directory programmatically. hth andy

Don't try for the classpath; the ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream() method should do what you want.
