What is the current directory when running Tomcat

Question

Hi,
In one of my classes I try to open a file for reading. I did this with:
FileReader fr = new FileReader("files/httpd.conf");
When I try to run the project, it can't find the file. I tried every possible place in my webapps directory and when I insert some code to take a look at his current path, i get an index which really isn't in webapps.
Can somebody please tell me where to put my files when i try to open them using files/httpd.conf
Much thanks,
Hugo Hendriks

I'm still getting a servlet error because he can't find the file. My directory structure is like:
webapps/act/ = all my html and jsp files
webapps/act/files = all my data files
webapps/act/WEB-INF/classes/apacheconfigurator = all my class files
my call in the class looks like this:
//Declareren van de input file
FileReader fr = new FileReader("../webapps/act/files/httpd.conf");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
//Declareren van de temp output file
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("../webapps/act/files/httpd.temp");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
