Default folder in Tomcat

[mili]

Hello,

I am using Tomcat for the first time, I have a doubt, can someone help
me with that please.

I am refering to some properties files from my Bean.
I do not want to hardcode the path in my code.
Can someone plesae tell me the default folder
that the server reads from. I tried putting my files
in my webapps folder , it doesnt seem to work.


Thanks in advance.
