Accessing a mapped network drive within a Java WebDynpro Application

[Former Member]

Hi,

my WebDynpro Application should create some files on a network drive which is mapped to the WebDynpro Server as N:\ drive. Are there any special restrictions (e.g. user ...)how I have to access the network drive or can I just use N:\ ...\ to access the drive?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Fischerman,

I believe that the network drive is of no importance if your task is to just create files on the J2EE server. Simply use the absolute path to the folder (present in J2EE server) where you want to create files.

However, if you intend to write files in machines other than the server that hosts your WD application, then would recommend that you should use fully qualified path, along with the host IP address like this:

[code]

<System's IP Address>\c$\usr\sap\CE1\J01\j2ee\cluster\server0

[/code]
