Safest way to handle stuff like this is have the full path be an initial
parameter to the servlet.  Say you have a zone called "foo" (aren't they
all?) containing a servlet class Bar.class.  Then in foo.properties:

repositories=C:\path\to\directory\containing\barclass
servlet.Foo.initArgs=configFile=X:\path\to\servlet\config\file\foo.cfg

Then foo.cfg can be a Properties-parsable file containing something
like:

imageDir=C:\images
