Look at the API docs for ServletContext.getRealPath(String s)
getRealPath("/") should return the path for the root of the Context.

A better alternative for your requirements may be to take the FileName as a
<init-param> and use the methods
- ServletContext.getResource()
- ServletContext.getResourceAsStream()
Check the API docs/Servlet specs for details of these methods.
