Turns out getServletContext returns null.
I am using my own tomcat server, so I'm fine with writing files. Except I
haven't been able to figure out a proper way to get the path.
Currently I use "private static String uglyHardcodedPath =
"../webapps/myproject/"", the prepend this to all my filepaths...
Thanks everyone
