File.getUNCPath() to retrieve the UNC path for a file

Name: jk109818 Date: 09/16/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
not necessary for this request

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
All Windows versions.


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The File object is unable to give the coder the UNC Path
value. However, one is able to go from the UNC Path value
to the normal path value for a file. This is esp. needed
for any Java program or Process that will stay in memory
after the user logs off.

All that is required for this is a String getUNCPath() off
on the File object.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced occasionally.
