In Servlet:

String path = getServletContext().getRealPath("/filename.txt");
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(path));

Note: It will work when you will deploy it in tomcat and run from out side eclipse. As eclipse has its own internal structure when it deploy the web application.

To check differnce put

System.out.println("File Path: " + path); in your servlet.
