I know for a fact the path is correct - when I run exactly the same code with exactly the same file path it works... When I attempt to open the same file path in Tomcat I get a FileNotFoundException. The path is networked and on a different drive (h:) from the Tomcat and when I moved the target file to the same, local drive (c:) it worked. Obviously either Java cannot see networked drives or some sort of file filter is in place. Strange...
