The system.properties file is already located in the WEB-INF classes directory. 
Sorry I am new to this stuff, not sure what other information you need.
   
   
  %CATALINA_HOME%/common/lib/mvp.jar    <- contains ExtProperties.class
  %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/fs/WEB-INF/classes/system.properties
  %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/fs/WEB-INF/classes  <- contains all other classes for 
"fs" app
