The Servlet specification requires (see section 4.8.1 of the Servlet 4.0 spec) that Tomcat provides a private temporary directory for each servlet context (web application). The best you can do is specify an absolute path that already exists for the Context's work directory. It doesn't need to be writeable. If you are using it for multiple web applications you probably don't want it to be writeable.
