trouble creating file object

["Rutledge, Aaron" <AR...@5prime.com>]

Hello List,
     I am simply trying to browse a file server for a list of filenames with the following JSP snipit below.  For some reason, It is returning null for the listfiles() method.  I know there are files in the directory and when I run the same piece of code inside of a main() from the server I am returned the list of files using the same JVM.  I have tried entering the URI different ways (such as \\\\NTSERVER\\Public\\Intranet, mapping a network drive and then using that, etc.) without luck.  Why would Tomcat have trouble with this?  I am pretty sure the same piece of code worked fine awhile ago.  The only thing I can think of that I've done wierd is add a CATALINA_OPTS variable into catalina.bat so that I could connect to resources outside of our SOCKS firewall (which BTW didn't work).  I have removed the variable and I still can't get this going.  ANy ideas???  It seems like such a simple obstacle but it is tearing my hair out.  Best regards, Aaron
 
File dir = new File("//NTSERVER/Public/Intranet");
        File[] children = dir.listFiles();
        if (children == null) {%>
            Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
        <%} else {
            for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
                // Get filename of file or directory
                if(children[i].isFile()){
                    String filename = children[i].getName();%>
rest of my code...
