JSP File system

[eeriehunk]

Hello, first of all I am not sure if i can post a JSP question here. I apologize if it’s not and please let me know where I could.
Coming to the point, I recently developed a Javascript which accesses windows file system using activeX Object and it worked fine, but unfortunately I cannot copy this code on to UNIX server and run with a UNIX file system (UNIX file path in my code) and I also realized that java script cannot use file systems. So I have planned to rewrite my code using JSP to access the UNIX file system. I am not even sure if could accomplish this task with JSP. If it can be done please give me a start. If not what are my options using the java family.

Yes you can ask JSP questions here (for now anyway).
You can put any Java code in a JSP you can access the file System. Have a look at the code in this thread.
The code is for copying files but it accesses the file sytem using the FileChooser

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if Jfilechooser would help me from what i am trying to achieve. But let me show you some thing
I have this code which uses the Active Xobject and FileSystemObjec t to retrieve all the file names in a given folder/directory. So is there a similar code in java that I could run on Unix with unix path and filesystem.

var fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
function ShowHomeFolderContents(){
	var f = fs.GetFolder(Server.MapPath("http:///pht025f3.pedc.sbc.com:7778"));
	var fc = new Enumerator(f.files);
	var path = " ";				

	for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext()) 
				{ 
					path = fc.item(); 
					document.write(path+"<br>");					
				} 	
}
