of course it fails. servlets (and jsp's are compiled into servlets) run on the server side, not on the client side.

Next to that: I very much doubt what you are trying is possible. It would cause quite some security concerns if it did.

Indeed. Do you really think browsers and users will have zero protection against some random web site deleting their files so easily? You need to re-think your application design to avoid the need to do this.
