cant create directory

inside a servlet i want to create a directory on a tomcat 4.1.30-server.

String path=docRoot+"events/"+event.getId()+"/";

File newDir=new File(path);

if (!newDir.exists()){

boolean result=newDir.mkdirs();

log("RESULT:"+result);

}

the logged result is always false and the folder is not created.

in the tomcat.policy-file i have the following entry:

grant{

permission java.io.FilePermission"/home/virtual/site189/fst/var/www/html/-","read,write,delete";

};

the mod of the folder, where i want to create that directory in, is 777 (all permissions set).

am i having a wrong tomcat.policy? do i have to use a codebase?

regards,

konrad
