If you are on unix (or cygwin), then all is hoo-ha wonderful because CATALINA_HOME is translated to its absolute path.

Tim is right - I am learning something new too. Interestingly, System.getProperty('java.home') gives 'c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\jre' on my PC.

System.getProperty("catalina.base") will give you ... CATALINA_BASE

Howdy, In your startup script, add a -D argument to java with the value of Catalina home and whatever name you desire. Let's say you want "myCatalinaHome" is the property name. Then do: java -DmyCatalinaHome=%CATALINA_HOME% And it will be available to your programs as System.getProperty("myCatalinaHome");
That said, I don't like your design at all. The functioning of your JSPs (or any other parts of your webapp) should have nothing to do with where your server is installed.
