Files.isWritable() returns false for a UNC Path even when the file can be created and written to

XMLWordPrintable

    • x86_64
    • windows_10

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      Windows with access to an UNC share. The bug was originally found in 8, and is still present in Java 12.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When creating a zip file on a remote directory with the code below,

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      In Windows, run the program below with a file name that points to a file which would be on a remote directory, either an UNC path (like \\server\share\foo.zip) or a drive letter that maps to a share.
      You can call the program with a local path to see that the code is working.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      ZIP file is created with a zip entry inside.
      ACTUAL -
      Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.ReadOnlyFileSystemException
              at jdk.zipfs/jdk.nio.zipfs.ZipFileSystem.checkWritable(ZipFileSystem.java:158)
              at jdk.zipfs/jdk.nio.zipfs.ZipFileSystem.newOutputStream(ZipFileSystem.java:519)
              at jdk.zipfs/jdk.nio.zipfs.ZipPath.newOutputStream(ZipPath.java:848)

      public class ZipFileSystemTest {

          public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
              final Map<String, Object> env = new HashMap<>();
              env.put("create", "true");
              Files.newOutputStream(FileSystems.newFileSystem(URI.create("jar:" + Paths.get(args[0]).toUri()), env).getPath("entry"),
                      StandardOpenOption.CREATE_NEW);
          }
      }
      ---------- END SOURCE ----------

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      You can avoid the problem by switching the readOnly private member of ZipFileSystem to true via reflection (tested in Java 8).
