Have a look at this function...
getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
Thats a nice way to find out where you are....
Only if you're running in an environment that supports the call. If you're
on a device without an accessible file system, or if the webapp is coming
out of an unexpanded .war file, you're out of luck. Depending on
getRealPath() indicates you've made a serious design error somewhere back up
the road.

====================
OK interesting... got me as curious as anything ;)
What devices does tomcat run on that doesnt have a file system? Are you
thinking cell?
like "../webapps/MCRCServlets/logs/MCRCServlet.log" in the Java Code.
He's clearly trying to make a private log file folder..
If you dont use getServletContext().getRealPath("/")... what do you suggest
he does?
