Try using absolute paths instead; the file paths you use now are relative
to the servlet engine's current directory, which can be anywhere depending
on the type of servlet engine. You should also check the engine's log file
for exception stack traces. I'm pretty sure you'll find a FileNotFoundException
or two ;-)
