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

[James Strachan]

OK so why not use   File file = new File( "//server/path/file" ); Document doc = reader.read( file ); James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/ ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 5:34 PM Subject: RE: [dom4j-user] Cannot read file on windows server I tried file:////server/path/file, but then I get at some point  /server/path/file (even tried file://///server/path/file) this makes me loose the fact that server is the name of the server and not part an ordinary path.   if I try to open the same file with: new File("//server/path/file") I have no problem at all accessing the file   hans NADJEMI Othmane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 21/01/2003 17:54 why you don't used the file protocol: reader.read("file:/you path"); Othmane -----Message d'origine----- De : James Strachan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : mardi 21 janvier 2003 17:51 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: [dom4j-user] Cannot read file on windows server I've never tried to upen those kinds of URIs in Java yet so can't really help.

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..

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.
