A shot in the dark here - i.e. its just a guess based
on glue logic (wrt what I have used) but shouldn't
regular IO operations only have access to stuff on
the local file system. Even if you map a drive to
your PC, its still not local - I don't think it
resides on the local file system. Unless you are
using classes of the *.net package, I don't see
how you should be able to access that Folder.
Yes you will see it by going to dos and typing
M:
cd my_shared_folder
But I don't think Java's regular I/O functions
will be able to access it.
You will definitely have to access it via java.net.*
modules. If in the String the URI you entered
is M:\blah\blah\blah
That will obviously not work either coz that will
probably not be understood as a path.
You will have to connect via Client\Server type
code and hopefully run a server like tomcat putting
the file in a directory that is accessible, last
time I toyed with that it was a director called web.
Or write your own server and if I'm not mistaken
you could be able to designate a directory by means
of your server that will be accessible to Client
requests.
Once again I may be wrong, but this is the only
explanation that makes sense. Mapping to me
seems to be a simple Windows Hack and remains that.
On the flip side if you play around with Google
there may be some implementations that you may use
that take advantage of the Mapping facility - but
I'm nto aware of any.
