Re: QLWISVR accessing the IFS?

I had a Java web app running on IWA Server, accessing the IFS.

But I was using the java.io classes to directly access directories and files in the IFS, not the Toolbox. *PUBLIC *RWX on the folders/files.

Subject: [WEB400] QLWISVR accessing the IFS?

Are there any special tricks/gotchas to trying to access contents of an
IFS folder from a webpage running on the Integrated Web Application
Server? I'm testing a webpage that calls a Java program (using it as a
JavaBean) - that attempts to display the contents of a folder on the
IFS. My server is using the default userid - QLWISVR. And I've
verified that by having the Java program retrieve the userid. I seem to
connect to localhost just fine - as I don't get an exception when
creating a new AS400 object (I'm using jt400 - com.ibm.access.AS400).
But when I try to do IFSFile.list() - I get an exception - "Access to
request was denied."

My first thought was that I needed to set the authorities on the IFS
folder to allow QLWISVR to access them. The folder already allowed
Read/Write/Execute for *PUBLIC, which I would think would be enough.
But, I went ahead and explicitly added an entry for QLWISVR to have *RWX
--- but I still get the exception.

Is there something else I need to setup? Just trying to determine if my
initial assumption is correct or not --- should QLWISVR userid be able
to access the IFS in this manner?
