Re: Format of file format in the IFS directory in JAVA

    Hi George,

    So I take it your question is how to locate files?

    To the best of my recollection, and I don't have time to double check
now, technically the "file:" protocol requires three ( 3 ) slashes.  It
also, for reasons I forget, will ( usta ) work with one ( 1 ) slash.  It
will not work with two slashes.

    Examples for /TecnoXML/ACES.xml:

    "file:///" + myFilePath;

    "file:/" + myFilePath;

    Result:

    "file:////TecnoXML/ACES.xml"


    "file://TecnoXML/ACES.xml"

    Incidentally, Java parsing for file structure will work with forward
slashes even for Windows, so you can avoid intermixing slashes and
backslashes.

    Still, it should work the same on all platforms.  What syntax are you
using on Windows?
