Check the Servlet Spec (version 2.4 is at
http://www.jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr154/
) for questions of this kind.

If you wish to be spec-compliant, no.  However, it should work depending
on Tomcat's security settings.

If you wish to be spec-compliant, you can only write to a temporary
directory that you ask the context for.  However, this may or may not be
enforced depending on Tomcat's security settings.
