    Accessing local file-system using Java 7 NIO.2 classes throws an exception when deployed in JBoss

      Hi,

       

      I am actually working on a mainframe/unix platform (the problem is restricted to mainframe/unix platforms only - it does not occur with JBoss in windows), and would like to read the metadata (dataset name etc) for the underlying file system. I am using the following NIO.2 constructs to achieve the same -

       

      File file = new File(folderPath);    /* folderPath corresponds to a valid folder location. */

      System.out.println("Read: "+file.canRead()+", Write: "+file.canWrite()+", Execute: "+file.canExecute());  /* Gives true for all three */

      //final Path mypath = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(folderPath);   /* Have used this or the next statement to get the Path object, and am getting the same results in both cases */

      Path mypath = file.toPath();

      final FileStore myfs = Files.getFileStore(mypath);

      String fileSystemName = myfs.name();

      String fileSystemType = myfs.type();

      System.out.println("Current file system, name: " + fileSystemName);

      System.out.println("Current file system, type: " + fileSystemType);

       

       

      This code works perfectly fine when deployed as a standalone Java class on the system.

       

      But whenever this code is deployed and run from inside a WAR in JBoss, it is throwing an exception like -

       

      java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /u/users/myfolder

      org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96)

       

       

      Can anybody shed some light on why this exeption appears ONLY when deployed inside a WAR file, and not otherwise? I was thinking in the lines of security, but since the legacy java.io.File object can easily access (read/write/execute) everything in this environment, I am stumped here!
