network drive issues

[adiMasher]

Good day to all!

I have a fairly simple issue. From inside apache Tomcat, I am running a java class through a portal engine.

I have some setup options to pull down config files off a local hard drive and everything works beautifully.

Now when I change the drive letter to a mapped network drive, I cannot connect to it

	try{
	   perfCubesFSO = new File(perfCubeLoc);
	   if(perfCubesFSO.isDirectory()){
	   ...
	   }else{
	      //error handling code
	   }
	}catch......

here's a snippet of how I'm testing the directory I'm trying to open. and it's got to be some problem between java and windows that won't let java access the network mapped drive.

Any thoughts on this, how to fix it or a work around?

Thanks,

It never fails... I think up an answer after I post to the forum

I had to adjust the service to use a networked account rather than a local system account.

problem solved. If the sky is blue and the Sun is yellow.... Why isn't the air Green?
