Re: Format of file format in the IFS directory in JAVA -- JAVA400-L

Sorry but it does not work still. I wonder if it's some kind ofauthority problem? I wonder if someone else have ever used a .xml filein AS400 IFS directory to access and parse in JAVA? Any example wherethe correct format worked? Thank you.


This is what I used:
file://TecnoXML/aces.xml
This is the error:

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


This is what I used:
file:////TecnoXML/aces.xml
This is the error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such path or directory.file:/TecnoXML/aces.xmlThis is part of my JAVA code. Where string variable *file* is filledwith above values. And the line *xr.parse(new InputSource(r)); *is whereI get the error.

FileReader r = new FileReader(file);
       System.out.println("File reader successful");
       *xr.parse(new InputSource(r));*
       System.out.println("Parse successful");

   Hi George,

   Neither of your examples in the message below match what I posted.  The
1 or 3 slashes are *only* for the "file:" protocol.  Any slashes or
backslashes in the file path are separate and additional.

From your last ones:


       > file:/TecnoXML/aces.xml

is completely invalid.


       > file:///TecnoXML/aces.xml

doesn't work ( file: + 2 slashes ), although some docs make it appear that
it should.


My examples, where myFilePath is "/TecnoXML/ACES.xml" were:

  "file:///" + myFilePath;

   "file:/" + myFilePath;

   Result:

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


   "file://TecnoXML/ACES.xml"

   Let me know if those don't work; maybe I'll have some time tomorrow to
check it out if that's the case, but IIRC, should do.

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
