Hi,

We have a Delphi client GUI talking via Corba to some Java processes. One of the
processes generates a rather large report. We want to store this report
temporarily as a file on the server running the process (so we don't have to
send it via corba). The client and the server agree between them what the name
of the report is so that after the client has asked the service to generate it,
the service can come back and say "done, it is stored at location X" - then the
client can access the file throught the normal network mappings. And there is my
problem.

Our network expert is away on leave at the moment so can anybody help me with
the following question?

How does the service communicate to the client exactly where the file is? Does a
server know it's volume name? (the same name that a client machine would call
it). And if so, how can the service find out the name of the volume that it is
running on?

TIA,

Phil.
