You might want to take this up with the Tomcat user's list, but let me offer some ideas.
First, I'll second what Alan says: Read your Tomcat logs. Second, where is "\docs"? Inside your $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/MyApp directory? You can't rely on that directory being writable or even being there. Tomcat unpacks your war by default, but it can be set not to do so. Not unpacking is the default in some web servers. I suspect that Tomcat is not permitting you to copy to a subdirectory inside $CATALINA_HOME/webapp/MyApp for just that reason. If the user account that launches Tomcat can read C:\Storage, there's no reason you can't copy from there. I do this a lot. However I then use servlets to write the file to back to my user (into an IFRAME or new window). I don't copy it into a directory my webapp's tree and tell the browser to access it.
