Make file upload path absolute and configurable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When the GWT client uploads a file to the server for analysis, the file is 
stored in a sub-directory of the .war archive. This relative path may vary 
based on how the war archive is deployed (e.g., with Jetty/Tomcat/etc). We need 
to make this path absolute, and also configurable. For example, a Java 
property, or an environment variable. Here are a few relevant links:
