Question

My server side is a JSP application which is hosted on Appache Tomcat 7(Plugin in eclipse). my Client side is: –

if(("GET").equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod())&&("Create Reimbursement").equalsIgnoreCase(request.getParameter("Create Reimbursement"))){ 
//crresult = lmktweb.createReimbursement(Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("ID")), request.getParameter("EmpdID"), request.getParameter("DateCreated"), request.getParameter("Amount"),request.getParameter("Vendor"),request.getParameter("picpath"));
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.80.125:8080/UploadFileServerSide/UploadHandler.jsp");
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
System.out.println(request.getParameter("fname"));
if(request.getParameter("fname")!=""){
    File file = new File(request.getParameter("fname"));
    entity.addPart("data", new FileBody(file));
    httppost.setEntity(entity);    
    HttpResponse resp = httpclient.execute(httppost);
}

My Server Side is: –

try {
                        String itemName = item.getName();
                        String fpath = "";
                        //item.
                        File root=File.listRoots()[0];
                        String extPath;
                        if(crdate!=""){
                            extPath = rei.HandlePathWithDate(crdate,getServletContext().getRealPath("images"));
                            fpath = extPath+"\\"+ppath;
                            fpath = extPath.replaceAll("/", "\\");
                        }   
                        else{

                            extPath= getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
                            fpath = extPath.concat("\\"+itemName);                              
                            fpath = extPath.replaceAll("/", "\\");                          

                        }
                        System.out.println("Saving as: " +fpath);
                        File f = new File(fpath);

                        f.setWritable(true);
                        f.setReadable(true);
                        item.write(f);

                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        response.setHeader("Error", e.getMessage());                            
                    }

but it generates following error while writing the file on given path: –

Saving as: D:\Z-Main\Projects\Android Projects.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps\UploadFileServerSide\
java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\Z-Main\Projects\Android Projects.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps\UploadFileServerSide (Access is denied)

Where is the problem. I am currently using Tomcat Eclipse plugin and this error comes on the console. I am calling the same code in android application and it is working fine.
Please guide with helpful details. I have tried to edit the catalina.policy file which is located in eclipse server plugin folder and added the following line: –

grant codeBase " file:${catalina.base}/webapps/UploadFileServerSide/-" {
  ermission java.io.FilePermission "${tomcat.home}/-","read,write"; };

and restarted the server from eclipse, expecting for different results but so far no luck.
Where am I lost?

Problem is solved when I used Servlet rather than JSP and use POST method while submitting the page. Strange!!!! as rest of the stuff is the same almost. Still confused why it happened as I think Servlet has the same level of access rights on server as of JSP. May be my assumption is wrong!
