As I stated in the other post,  I do NOT think the problem is the fault of
iText.  I think it is an Oracle DB problem,  but to understand what is going
on I was asking what causes 

public RandomAccessFileOrArray(String filename, Boolean forceRead) throws
IOException

To throw the IOException?  I know an IOException can be caused by the file 
Not existing, or the file not being in the directory, or the OS security
Being wrong. What other things will cause RandomAccessFileOrArray to throw
The IOException?

I do not have any problems writing to disk,  my problem is using 
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("PORA$DATA:[PORADATA.PDF]" + values[0]);
To read a PDF file.  

The thing about test and prod is NOT a iText problem,  it is a Oracle DB
Issue,  but since the java class and iText work text it does prove that
The problem is not with my java class.

Pat,
