Well, I've never tried it before, but what you've got is pretty much
as described in an old Jason Hunter article:
http://www.javaworld.com/jw-12-1998/jw-12-servletapi-p3.html
I don't know if things have changed since then.
Of course, another issue is whether the user that the servlet is
running as has the appropriate permissions to write into that
file/directory.
