Accessing the file system

[epfreed]

I know how to access files stored in my .sar file, but I need to read ( and delete) external files, and a directory. Specifically, I have a reg ex to match against the files in the directory, but I can't find a way to list the files in the directly.

File f = new File("path");
String[] listOfFiles = f.list();

does not to work.

I have tried various URI/URL ways with no success.

What is the solution?

Many thanks,

Arg, never mind. My regex was causing an exception to be thrown before the file was even opened up, and I was silently dropping to caught exception. So I thought I could not open the directory, and was thinking EJB (which can't access the file system through regular io)
