Title: RE: [dom4j-user] Cannot read file on windows server
Agreed. The read method can take a File, a URL, or a String url as well as an InputStream or Reader - though the first 3 are preferred as it gives the default EntityResolver implementation a chance..

Hi (Dag :-) Hans,

I believe this should work:
reader.read( new URL("file:////server/path/file.xml") );

Subject: [dom4j-user] Cannot read file on windows server

Hello,

I want to access open an xml file located on a distant server "
\\server\path\myxml.xml".
If I try to open the file with the java File class, all goes perfectly
well.
If I try to execute following code I get a connection error:

        f = new File(_fileName);
        if (!f.exists()) {
            throw new error
        }
        reader = new SAXReader();
        document = reader.read("file:".concat(_fileName));

If the last line contains "file:" or not does not make a difference.
After some debugging I noticed that an URL is made and that it is the
URL
that is opened.
in the debugger I stopped on the error and noticed that in
Handler.openConnection(URL) the protocol is file but in the URL(String,
String, String) that is called from this one, the protocol changed into
ftp. (since no ftp server is running on the windows machine, this error
is
logical)

I tried to do
        document = reader.read(filereader);
but even when I pass an inputstream that is open and has access to the
file, an URL is made and used.

I hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you
Hans
