I am trying to figure out how to access .dbf files that are on a

the issue is tomcat's contexts on the production server. I've seen
plenty of suggestions for just reading and streaming files from
outside
the docbase, but nothing for accessing them for database purposes. I'm
using the Microsoft DBF driver.

Are you sure that the driver understands UNC path notation ?
What if you "map" that path to a "device letter" on the local system,
and try to connect using that local path ?
Addendum : but if your are indeed running Tomcat as a Service, then the
previous explanation from Mark Eggers is more likely to be the problem.
(and my suggestion won't help, because it's still a network drive, and
the LocalSystem account does not have access to Windows network
resources (like network drives and printers e.g.)).
I already knew that, and should have mentioned it in my original post
(sorry for the lack of details). I'm running TC as a service on Windows
server 2008, as a user that does have permissions for the network and
the drive where the db is located, not as Local system.
You should try starting Tomcat under your own user-id, in a command
window, using the startup.bat script, and then see if it can connect.
If it can then, then your problem is the LocalSystem account.
If it still can't, then it may be the UNC path notation.
Hmm, good idea; I hadn't thought that it just may not like UNC notation.
I hope that's not the problem, because if I have to have a drive
letter, then I think I'll have to have the user actually logged onto the
server.
