You can define this in your <web-app> element in tomcat\conf\web.xml. For
instance,
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>fred</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>your.class.here</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<context-param>
<param-name>ini-directory</param-name>
<param-value>c:/</param-value>
<description>Directory containing INI files</description>
</context-param>
</web-app>
BTW, you might want to replace your INI files with Java properties files: a)
the code to read/write them already exists, in java.util.Properties; and, b)
you can use java.util.ResourceBundle to load them, rather than making people
edit your web config file.
