Yes.
You've got two choices:
* Get the pathname of the document root for your webapp, and compute
the path you want from there (this only works if you run your app
in an unpacked directory - it won't be portable to all containers):
String base = getServletContext.getRealPath("/");
if (!base.endsWith("/"))
base += "/";
base += "data/attachments/";
* Pass the absolute pathname of the attachments directory as a servlet
initialization parameter.
