Alexander,
I would suggest that you have a couple of options here:
1) HttpServletRequest has the following methods getRealPath() and
getTranslatedPath(). You could use these to get the path to you application
directory structure.
2) Lookup the context attribute javax.servlet.context.tempdir to get a private
directory for you servlet context.
Take Care
