I am trying to create a directory below the webapps\mywebapp directory.

I’am able to create directories with the java.io.File(new_directory)).mkdirs();  … (or mkdir())

However, I want to create it under the webapps\mywebapp directory,

To do this I need to get a path to the webapps\mywebapp directory so

I used request.getContextPath()  which returns the correct path except that

The directory mywebapp comes back with a forward slash (e.g. /mywebapp)

When it should be a back slash (e.g. \mywebapp)

I’ve tried using the java.io.File.separator to make it UNIX/windows independent but

That doesn’t work either!

HELP!
