wierd problem reading remote mapped files in servlets

[Betty Chang <be...@portalwave.com>]

Hi all -- has anyone seen this problem?   I running a servlet on Windows 2000, or NT, and it's trying to read a file that is mapped from a remote machine (e.g.:  m:\junk.txt, where m: is mapped to something on the network).  On Windows 2000, the drive will actually disconnect on me (when I run "net use", I see that)  and the program cannot read the file.

If I run the program as a main(), things work fine.

Any clues??

Thanks

Betty

Hi, Beti

You may be referencing to the file in the wrong case. Tomcat 3.2 is case sensitive. (I do read files in mapped drives in both NT/98 without a problem... Maybe there's an issue with Win2k)
