Yes, there is. But it's not really a good idea.
What you ought to do instead is to specify these properties in your web.xml
file as a <context-param> element, like,
<webapp>
<!-- ... -->
<context-param>
<param-name>TomcatHome</param-name>
<param-value>c:/tomcat</param-value>
</context-param>
</webapp>
And specifically, I I'm not sure you even need to know TOMCAT_HOME, when
you've got methods like ServletContext.getRealPath().
