[jdom-interest] Reading from a file across the net

[Peter Donn]

Hi
I'm having problems building a Document for a file that is on another server
on the network.  I pass the file as demonstrated in the following code.
WHen I do this I get the error:
	"org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building: Connection refused: no
further information"

yet I can successfully pass the file into a FileInputStream(new
File(sXMLFile)) and read a byte from it.

Is this a bug?  Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be gratefully received.

Cheers
Peter.

-------------------------------------
The code...

	p_sXMLFile =
"//lon-ws-01/Orygen/ApplicationXmlFiles/exampleTimesheetApplication.xml"

and using the following code:

	try {
		SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
		System.out.println("About to build");
      Document doc = builder.build(new File(p_sXMLFile));
		System.out.println("Built");
      return doc;
   } catch(JDOMException e) {
   	e.printStackTrace();
   } catch(NullPointerException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
   }

----------------------------------
The output (a bit more than for the code listed above)

This file exists
Value = 60
Done
Inside ApplicationBean constructor
The file
\\lon-ws-01/Orygen/ApplicationXmlFiles/exampleTimesheetApplication.xml
exists
Done
