If you can create the folder from a standalone java applcation, you can create the folder using a servlet, JSP or any other server-side code. All the restrictions from the filesystem security is in effect for the user and group IDs that the server runs under applies to the servelet code also...

Can you explain what is written (new File(request.getRealPath("users") + "/me@this.com").mkdir(); ) [users] what is it?
