Joeri, I haven't had to do this with Tomcat yet but am using it in Apache 1.x and 2.x on Windows 2000. In Apache this works:
# Local Drive (old way) #Alias /Documents e:/Documents # Network Share (new way) Alias /Documents //server/Documents Couldn't find any documentation on it, but somehow I came up with this. The Web Server service has to run as a domain account that is a member of a domain group that has access to the share. Could be the same applies to Tomcat. Let me know how you make out.

I have a problem accessing network shared drives from within my servlets and JSP-pages. For instance, if "S" is a mapped drive pointing to something like a shared network drive "\\shared_server\shared_drive", then this scriplet returns "false": <% java.io.File file = new java.io.File("S:/test.txt"); boolean exists = file.exists(); out.print("exists: " + exists); %> The file "test.txt" does exist, but Tomcat does not see the shared drive. Running Tomcat in command line mode (no service) does work! I assume this has something to do with Windows network security? Can anybody help me?
