Reading .txt file on Windows Server 2008

1006924
Member Posts: 2
I have a Java 7 application that we distribute, and it reads configurations from a .txt file distributed with it, in the same directory as the .jar file. On Windows 7, windows XP, Windows 8, this works fine, but on our server, running Windows Server 2008, this fails. It is a simple check that fails:
Path p = Paths.get("config.txt");
if(Files.isReadable(p))
This will not work on Windows Server 2008 r2. It suspect that it somehow hasn't got read permissions, but I'm not sure.
It also fails if the absolute path is specified.
Path p = Paths.get("config.txt");
if(Files.isReadable(p))
This will not work on Windows Server 2008 r2. It suspect that it somehow hasn't got read permissions, but I'm not sure.
It also fails if the absolute path is specified.

Well try opening an input stream to it anyway. What exception do you get then?

Strangely enough, this produced no exception, but made the program work.

And what if you use the regular old fashioned standard IO File class and not Files to check if the file is readable (File.canRead())?
Methinks (or to be honest: I guess) there is something odd with the creation of the Path object on your windows server file system, but I wouldn't be able to tell what exactly.
