Hi there. My servlet needs a reliable way of determining it's base path, ie the path to its folder in tomcat's webapp directory. is there a simple, container independent way of doing this?

I am not a Tomcat expert, but certainly there is no way of getting the TOMCAT_HOME.
You might have to set a System Property yourself and access in the web tier code or set Servlet Init parameter or a JNDI environment entry.
