Cheetah, 

in Java the concept of an "application path" does not really exist. What directory do you consider the application dir? 
The one where your main-class resides? 
What if this is inside a JAR file? Now the JAR file could be somewhere, say, on a http server...

System.getProperties lists some "well-known" directories
("user.home", "user.dir"), maybe you can use these? 

Good luck,
Torsten
