Are you using absolute paths in the batch file? Keep in mind that web apps do not have a concept of a default directory, if you use relative paths, it's not going to work.

Is there a reason you're not using File.mkdir to accomplish the same?

Also remember that JSPs are executed on the server and not on the client; if you were trying to create a directory on the client's computer, this will not work.

i had just return "mkdir foldername" in the batfile..
nothing more in it.. is it necessory to use the ablsolute path
