Question

I have to make a folder from a servlet in the project’s web directory. (Like: web/Users/userinform) To do that i make a call to the helper class that works to make a directory but it is unable to make one. Even if i invoke mkdir from within the servlet then also directory is not made. (returns false) What is the reason ? How can i do so ?

EDIT

Answer 1

Try like this

 new File(request.getRealPath("users") + "/[e-mail]").mkdir();

Never you should rely to modify in deployed web application.
