But how can I use VFS in an intranet application which is web based?

It may be possible to check the user's credentials via an LDAP connection (or whatever method is appropriate for your security/authorization system). However, it will not be possible to access the remote server directly from Tomcat (including any of your servlets or JSPs). You might be able to use something like the Commons VFS (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/vfs/). | Second issue is that - If I want to upload the files then I want to | check that user who is logged in to the application has write access or | not on file server. If not then he should get error message. My user | will be logged in to application as same user id as his/her domain user | id. But I am not sure how to achieve this. I'm not sure what the problem is here. If the user doesn't have write access to the server, you'll definitely get an error indication of some sort. All you have to do is decide how you want to present that to the user. ----------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is confidential proprietary property of Nelnet, Inc. and its affiliated companies (Nelnet) and is intended for the recipient only.
