Grails _Events.groovy not working on production server, works on dev though

I want to map external directory as resource to application deployed on tomcat 7.
I have already gone through thread here and tried several approaches:

  1. I added _Events.groovy and it works perfectly fine on my dev machine(windows 7), but when I deploy same on production server, it doesn't map external folder to the context root. 

    import org.apache.catalina.*
import org.apache.catalina.connector.*
import org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader


eventConfigureTomcat = {tomcat ->
    println "changing tomcat setting..."
    String imageDir = '/usr/imgs';
    if (System.properties['os.name']?.toLowerCase()?.contains('windows')) {
        imageDir = 'c:/usr/imgs';
    }
    println "product image dir:"+imageDir;
    def context = tomcat?.addWebapp('/imgs' , imageDir)
    def loader = new WebappLoader(tomcat.class.classLoader)
    loader.addRepository(new File(imageDir).toURI().toURL().toString())
    loader.container = context
 context.loader = loader
}

  2. My context root name is rie, and I tried adding the following context in Server.xml, even this did not work for me.

    <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
.
.
.   
    <Context path="/rie" docBase="/usr/imgs" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" />
    <Context path="" docBase="/usr/imgs" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" />
.
.
.
</Host>

  3. Tried alises as well as its available with tomcat 7, that too didn't work.

I am trying this out since from 2 days, referred all the thread and tutorials but its not working.,
Am I doing something wrong?

Do you have the correct rights to this folder for tomcat?

Try to login to the system like su - tomcat (or whichever other username you have started tomcat under which) and access /usr/imgs.

Then change that permissions recursively, through chmod -R.
