Hi,

My app is running fine in Jetty as a Grails application on Windows.

I am having problem to get file located on other file system when running on jBoss AS 4.0.3.

     //java.net.URL yahoo = new java.net.URL("/abchost.abc.com/MDM_DEV/vendordocs/static/UTC.pdf"); //--- Not working

     java.net.URL yahoo = new java.net.URL("file","abchost.abc.com","/MDM_DEV/vendordocs/static/UTC.pdf"); //--- Not working
     java.net.URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();
     java.io.InputStream is = yc.getInputStream(); // --- Throw exception when calling getInputStream().

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /abchost.abc.com/MDM_DEV/vendordocs/static/UTC.pdf

This seems to be a problem in jBoss 4 but was fixed in jBoss 5. But my app has to be ran on Jboss 4.

Is there a solution? Can I use other classes to download file instead of using URL?

Thanks!
