hi, 1. even you deploy as war, later after start tomcat, it will still generate a folder that actually tomcat uses normally. so in this case, you still be able to use context path to write 2. if you wanna avoid other people modiy, you can create script/IO stream object that generates folder before you write to. 3. to write, you can always use context path or absolute path defintion no matter is inside or outside, but after been written and you wanna view, you have to define as URL, have you tried use file:\\???\??? or use some JVM properties attribute. That may help you define a OS independent path.
