James is correct about the fact that Tomcat sets this system property. However,
you should be using ${catalina.base} instead of ${catalina.home}. You may very
well have a separate instance of Tomcat with a different base directory than
that of ${catalina.home}. In that case that you truly are running under a host
whose home is located within ${catalina.home}, ${catalina.base} will point to
the same location. So, always use ${catalina.base} unless you have a very good
reason not to.
