How to set a relative tomcat docbase?

Question

This is my Context definition:

<Context docBase="../myupperProject/" path="/something" />

If I let this run in tomcat the problem is that tomcat adds a absolute path like

c:\something\something../myupperProject

How can I get rid of the first part? I just want to tell tomcat to use a upper folder.

Solved it with maven. The parameter is exchanged with the maven resource filtering.
