Writing to QDLS with Java on the 400

["McCallion, Martin" <martin.mccallion@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any truth in the rumour that you can't use Java with the QDLS
filesystem?  We have to support a legacy system that picks up files from
there; our application just uses standard Java classes to create files
in a specified directory, like /home/user-name under Unix, or
C:\some-dir under Windows.

But when we specify /QDLS/AFOLDER on the AS/400, we invariably get an
exception saying "Folder not found" (it does exist).  It works perfectly
well if we use another filesystem, like /QOpenSys/some-dir.

I haven't been able to find anything official about this, but a web
search did lead me to an AS/400 zip application written in Java, which
claimed that, "Java doesn't work with QDLS".

Does anyone know the truth?

Cheers,

Martin.
