How to create a directory inside TOMCAT using Java?

I'm having troubles trying to create a directory inside my servlet application for saving an audio file. When I try to create it in the root directory: (C:/something) I have no trouble, but when I try to do it inside tomcat path I can't. Does any one know why? This is my code (I have to pass the target path by post, but I'm trying first with a path previous set).

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, 
                    HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println("<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>");
    //nombreFichero = request.getParameter("nombreArchivo");
    //Ruta = request.getParameter("Destino");
    String destino = request.getParameter("Destino");
    String ruta2 = request.getContextPath();
    ruta2 += "/InformesAudio/";
    out.println("<P>Ruta para guardar: <B>" + destino + "</B></P>");
    out.println("<P>Ruta armada: <B>" + ruta2 + "</B></P>");

    File crearCarpeta = new File(destino);
    if(!crearCarpeta.exists())
    {
        crearCarpeta.mkdir();
        out.println("<P>La ruta de getContextPath modificada es: </P><P>" + destino + "</P>"
                    + "<P>CARPETA CREADA EXITOSAMENTE</P>");
    }

Thanks for your help buddies!! Have a nice day!! ;)

I got it:

` 

    public static String WEBAPP_ROOT;
    /**
    *       Initialize the servlet and set up some static variables :<br>
    */
    public void init() {
            WEBAPP_ROOT = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
    }`

Then you

Try this.. Take the application root and then concatnate destination location. Also try using mkdirs() instead of mkdir(). It will create the parent directories if not present

File parent_dirs = new File(applicationRoot + destinationLoc);
if(!parent_dirs.exists()){
  parent_dirs.mkdirs();
}
