Or you could do System.getProperty("user.dir").
Tomcat does not care what the current working directory is when you
launch it. All it cares is the value of system properties
"catalina.home" and "catalina.base".
(The well known environment variables CATALINA_HOME, CATALINA_BASE are
used by catalina.sh/catalina.bat scripts to set those system
properties when launching Java process for Tomcat).
If your logging configuration supports substitution of environment
variables, use one of those variables explicitly, e.g. as
"${catalina.base}/logs" (see the default conf/logging.properties in
Tomcat for an example).
