Specifying UNIX path in java properties file
Hi,
I wonder if an expert can assist.
I need to specify a unix path coreectly in my properties file sitting on my C drive, as I need
to read a flat file from UNIX I know I can't just do;
/home/johno/myfile.txt
and some escaping sequence is required.
Many thanks

Sorry for the confusion
As you know, UNIX paths are like :
/test/dyn/data/gsbl/TESTT1
When I put that in I get:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundExcept
So please please clarify how this should be specified in properties (its an XML file .
)
OK if I put this in properties I get

What are you running this on? I don't see how the file separators are changing.

I'm running the the java in IBM Websphere app server (out of container). As a java client (all on my PC). Need to read the file from UNIX.
sounds like you are looking at the local system for a file that would be located on the server. You will need to give the path to the server (the UNIX computer) for the program. The best would be to give it in a URL format. So, of course it is saying that the file is not found on the client (where you are currently looking), because you need to look in the server.
ASKER
Hi could you please show how to specify it in URL format given the UNIX file is:
/test/dyn/data/gsbl/TESTT1
thanks very much.
/test/dyn/data/gsbl/TESTT1
thanks very much.
is the unix file system mounted?
How is the client expected to access the Unix server?

That could be fine, how is the path used in your app?
