Yes my JAVA program is not locating files in the AS400 IFS directory. I am running this program in the AS400 which also means I moved the jar and classes from my PC to the IFS directory too. The 1 to 3 slashes still does not work (Look below). The syntax I am using in Windows is C:\\Developement\\xml\\aces.xml. I also made sure this time I used the same case for the directory and file.

Thanks


file:/TecnoXML/aces.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such path or directory. file:/TecnoXML/aces.xml

file:///TecnoXML/aces.xml
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such path or directory. file:/TecnoXML/aces.xml

   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?

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


I have an java xml parser developed in Eclipse. When I run the parser in
Websphere Development Studio and use the xml in my C: drive it works.
But if I put the xml in the ifs directory in the AS400 I get error
message below.....

The IFS directory in the as400 is...
/TecnoXML/ACES.xml


Error if i use:  /TecnoXML/ACES.xml
java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol:

Error if i use:  file:///TecnoXML/ACES.xml
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such path or directory.
file:/TecnoXML/Aces.xml

Error if i use:  file:\\\TecnoXML/ACES.xml
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such path or directory.
file:\\\TecnoXML/ACES.xml
