Re: accessing files from IFS folder through web application

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is Tomcat running as a Windows service?  If so, and it is running with the
default system account, then Windows will not allow it to access network
resources.  You can workaround this by changing the service to run as a
specific domain account.

However, I do not think the drive mapping would be visible to the service,
you would probably need to use a UNC path name.
\\Server\Share\Dir\File.ext

Hi
I am running tomcat on my windows 2000 machine, I have
mapped IFS folder to my machine, so i can access files
from IFS
I have a pdf file in L:\cxash\test.pdf (where L is my
mapped drive) , which i am trying to access thrugh
servlet,
So in my servlet my code looks like this
File file = new File("L:\\cxash\\test.pdf");
But i am getting following error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: L:\cxash\test.pdf
(Access is denied)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at
java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:103)

how do i set the folder authority, I need to read this
pdf file and display it in IE
