It all depends on what your code is. I'm assuming you're just using new
File( relpath ), which should be relative to the user.dir system property,
which should be Tomcat bin I suppose ( this is all educated guessing i
tell you. ).
Does knowing that help you? Your relative path should then be
"../webapps/myapp/etc".
Instead of getting to a file as such, you really should be using some of
the file/resource accessors from ServletContext, so that it will be
relative to the context root so that it's portable.. Look at
ServletContext.getResource() and ServletContext.getResourceAsStream().
