Don't.

You should NEVER upload files to locations inside of a WAR. Aside from the fact that it will produce major headaches, it's technically a violation of the J2EE spec despite being physically possible in some (but not all) webapp servers (depending on how they're configured).

Designate a dedicated upload directory that's outside of both the webapp AND the Tomcat server directory trees and use that. I normally make that directory path be a configurable option, but that's just for flexibility. The important thing is that the upload directory should not be inside the deployed WAR.
