In normal java you'ld be able to access the network drive using
(tested from windows to an SMB share)
File f = new File("\\\\myserver\\mydir");
or even
File f = new File(new URI("file:////myserver/mydir"));


The directory generator (or more precisely the SourceResolverImpl)
resolves both src="\\myserver\mydir" and src="\\\\myserver\\mydir" to
local path $WEBAPP_ROOT/myserver/mydir whereas
src="file:////myserver/mydir" is resolved to file://myserver/mydir

This is IMO wrong or at least counter intuitive behaviour given how it
works in plain java.

You might try and write your own SourceFactory and register a custom
smb: protocol to get around this, or as Tony suggested just map it to a
network drive and access it local (AKA "The Easy Way Out" :)
