You can use pathSeparator field from the File class for adding path separator.

Can you provide the stack trace?

File delDir = new File(mydir); //This doesn't create a file.

done it but still not creating it my update code is shown below

    String mydir=configurationM.getConfigValue()+File.separator+objAttachDocumentsFormBean.getStrCaseId().trim();
                    File delDir = new File(mydir); 
                    delDir.mkdir();

or

 File file = new File(strFilePath+ File.separator +filename);
    file.mkdir();

File.html#mkdir() Returns: true if and only if the directory was created; false otherwise

So you should check the result of that method.

So you want to create a directory and then a file within that? And you are using mkdir()?

yeeppyyyy

I tried the code below and it is working fine ....I think it is not permitting me to create more than one directory at a time ..

check this out...

String mydir=configurationM.getConfigValue();
                    File delDir = new File(mydir); 
                    
                    delDir.mkdir();
                    
                    File file2 = new File (mydir+File.separator+objAttachDocumentsFormBean.getStrCaseId().trim());
                    
                    file2.mkdir();

File#mkdirs()

This is really useful info. Without reading about the method- I had assumed that it would create multiple directories in the same location. Thanks Maneesh!!
