ah ha!  I think I've found the culprit...the catalina.policy file.  When =
was this snuck into TomCat?  Anyway...anyone know how to add a =
permission so that TomCat has read access to a network directory?  =
Thanks!  Aaron

Subject: directory listing null through JSP


Hi List,
I hope I am not double posting--my last e-mail bounced.

I am trying to create a JSP page that lists contents on a network =
filesystem.  I am creating a file object using=20

File dir =3D new File("//FILESERVER/Public_Folder");

and then I want to list all of the files using...

 File[] children =3D dir.listFiles();
 if (children =3D=3D null) {%>
            Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
        <%} else {
            for (int i=3D0; i<children.length; i++) {

but "children" will only return null even though the directory has =
subfiles!  I have run the same piece of code in the main method of an =
application and it works perfectly.  Why would this cause problems in =
TomCat?  Is it a security access issue?  Is there a way to overcome =
this?  I have been stuck on this simple problem for weeks!  Any help =
greatly appreciated.  Regrads to all, Aaron

BTW:  When I replace the network path with a local path it works fine.=20
