linux new File
Here it is :
under WinNT I have this (working):
File f = new File ("d:\\dir\\whateverFile.txt");
f.isFile() // THIS RETURN TRUE
under Linux i have (not working... how come ?):
File f = new File ("/www/dir/whateverFile.txt");
f.isFile() // THIS RETURN FALSE, BUT SHOULD RETURN TRUE...
Any idea?

With Linux there is the added privilige/responsibility of managing users and security. The user that you are running java from has rights to the directories and files?
Well it might have thrown a security exception.
Which Linux are you running?
I've got a Fedora Core 2 box setup so if you have a snip of code to test, post it.
(1) Does the file exist ( and remember Linux is case sensitive with names)(2) Do you have read access to the file, and all the parent directories of the file? If not, then you might get a security exception. If you need to know how to do this type ls -al <filename>
