How to set the Upload Destination Directory for RichFileUpload ?

Question

Hi! I'm using the RichFile Upload component for uploading the files to server..
I have configured the file the size to be uploaded, but could not set the destination directory... The web.xml entries I have in my project is:
<context-param>
<!-- Maximum memory per request (in bytes) -->
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY</param-name>
<!-- Use 500K -->
<param-value>512000</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<!-- Maximum disk space per request (in bytes) -->
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE</param-name>
<!-- Use 5,000K -->
<param-value>5120000000</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<!-- directory to store temporary files -->
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR</param-name>
<!-- Use an ADFUploads subdirectory of /tmp -->
<param-value>/tmp/TrinidadUploads/</param-value>
</context-param>
<filter>
<filter-name>trinidad</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.webapp.TrinidadFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>trinidad</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
By default the uploaded files are stored in :
/u01/home/developer/.jdeveloper/system11.1.1.0.17.45.24/o.j2ee/embedded-oc4j/config
I'm using Linux OS and JDev11g .
Why is the desination directory configured in web.xml not being used?
Am I doing any thing wrong?
Any suggestions ?
Thanking you,
Samba

Hi! Ric,
This is the entire web.xml :

And about the other details you asked :
1. I'm not using any custom UploadFileProcessors.. I'm using the default one.
2. I tried with and with out the TrinidadUploads directory
But still the same effect!
Can you suggest where I'm going wrong?
Thankyou
